The English wine business

The UK wine industry is booming, with over 4,000 hectares (c. 10,000 acres) of vines now in active production across more than a thousand different vineyards. More than 200 wineries are now in operation - together they produced nearly nine million bottles of wine in 2023. Compare this to 2018 when a little over three million bottles were made, and you get an idea of the pace of change.
