Wines
UK wines are gaining global recognition for their exceptional quality and innovation. They are winning an increasing number of international accolades and featuring on the menus of top restaurants, bars, and businesses around the world. We highlight these high standards through our sustainable wine initiatives, geographical indications, and prestigious awards. Explore our diverse wine styles, discover the unique regions that make UK wine so distinctive and Create New Traditions – Drink English & Welsh Wines.
Drink English and Welsh wines
Our cool climate creates fresh wines with balance and complexity that are naturally lower in alcohol. Our extended growing season means grapes spend longer on the vine developing flavour without becoming overripe. We craft innovation with tradition. Our wine community is a blend of expertise from around the world and home-grown talent, working together to produce wines beyond the margins and without restraints.
Traditional method sparkling made our name, but creativity is at our core. We grow 99 varieties of grapes, 10% of our sparkling wines are made using the by Charmat method, carbonated or bottle fermented, and a third of our wines are stills.
Drink local. With over 1,000 vineyards, it’s never been easier to support your local with the added benefit that you will have the lowest wine miles. Follow the journey from vine to bottle and enjoy a product that is truly homegrown.
