Description
English wine's remarkable transformation from a joke to world-class in just 30 years is a story of vision, determination and bloody-mindedness. Henry Jeffreys takes you behind the scenes of this revolution, revealing the people who made it happen - from secretive billionaires to single mothers farming just a couple of hectares. The English wine industry has come a long way since its amateur beginnings, driven by advances in technology and a changing climate. Yet, at its heart, is a story about individuals with a passion for producing high-quality wines. This illuminating account explores the challenges faced by these pioneers and their unwavering commitment to creating exceptional wines. From Kent's rural landscapes to the cutting-edge facilities of modern wineries, Jeffreys' narrative offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of English wine production.
