Raising a glass of sparkling wine

What is English Wine Week?

Led by WineGB, English Wine Week is an annual celebration of homegrown excellence. It’s a week to shine a light on the vineyards, producers and places behind each bottle, raising a glass to world-class English wines, whether at a wine dinner, on a sunny terrace, or at your kitchen table.

The theme this year is ‘creating new traditions’, encouraging everyone to makes the switch and embrace English wine as part of new rituals.
