The UK’s wine scene has come of age. With cool-climate growing conditions and chalky soils, southern England now produces sparkling wines that rival the best in the world. But it’s not all bubbles – Bacchus, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are making waves as still wines too. Elegant, crisp and unmistakably British, these wines reflect the precision and quiet confidence of a flourishing homegrown industry. And from north of the border, Scotland continues to define excellence of its own, with whiskies revered the world over for their depth, craft and character.
