The Wines of Britain and Ireland

In the last ten years wine growing in Britain has come a long way. No longer viewed as an eccentric hobby, it has become a valuable industry producing wines of the highest standard. A welcome addition to Faber's wine series, The Wines of Britain and Ireland explores the wine-making of England, Ireland and the Channel Islands, with a full description of the wine varieties grown and the processes being developed for Britain's unique conditions. It describes all the 260 major vineyards with details of location, owners, wine-makers, opening hours and sales information.
