Great Britain

The common misconception is that, most people thinks that English wine and British wine are the same, but they are not. British wines are made from imported grape concentrate while English wines are made from grapes grown in the local vineyards. Most wines are white, and have crisp apple grapefruit flavours.

As to quality, it is indeed improving year by year, but the weather is unpredictable. Spring frosts, autumn rains or a cold summer can all ruin a harvest. But the industry took advantage to manufacture more wine during British summers. It is speculated that global warming can be a great help to the major growth of the industry.
