English Wine Week 18 - 26 June
English Wine Week is running from Saturday 18th to Sunday 26th June 2022 and, after a spike in sales of English and Welsh wines following the Jubilee week earlier in June, producers have got lots to look forward to and celebrate.
For the latest in what is going on in your area go to www.winegb.co.uk. There are wine festivals in Cheltenham, Canterbury and Berkshire and in the North, the Yorkshire wine trail, so there is almost certainly something going on near you.
With sales of 9.3m bottles in 2021 and area under vine nearly quadrupling since 2000, English and Welsh wines have been growing strongly. Patriotic Platinum Jubilee sales were up 370% in Sainsbury's supermarkets although 50% of the wines are still sold via cellar door with a small but growing 4% of wine volume going to export markets.
