Welcome

It’s my pleasure to welcome you to the fourth Vineyard & Winery Show, organised by Vineyard Magazine.

The 2024 show has so much to offer with more exhibitors than ever, so it is important that visitors plan their day to ensure that they are able to fully benefit from the opportunity to chat with businesses across all aspects of our thriving industry. As a young industry it is great to have an opportunity to meet with so many different members of the vine and wine community and experience the benefits this brings.

To make room for as many visitors and exhibitors as possible a new hall has been added, aptly named the ‘First Hall’, which is also providing a wonderful showcase of wines made from UK Piwi grapes with a Wine Hub dedicated to these wines. From Divico to Solaris through to Cabaret Noir and some interesting blends such as Souvignier Gris/Sauvignac I am sure you will be blown away with these wines that are making new fans all over the UK and beyond.

If you didn’t manage to obtain tickets for the two masterclasses taking place during the day please be aware that all the wines that are part of the masterclasses are also available on the Wine Hubs, which are sponsored by Defined, so everyone will be able to sample these specially selected wines.

Another fabulous tasting experience can be found in the Maidstone Hall. The Golden 50 wine hub consists of English and Welsh wines that have won a gold medal at one or more of nine competitions throughout 2024 with the final selection made by WineGB and Vineyard Magazine. Our Golden 50 therefore gives you a chance to sample the best from UK producers all in

one place. Congratulations to each producer who has made it into the Golden 50. We would like to thank each and every one of our producers for ensuring that the very best of English and Welsh wine is available for each visitor to experience.

A special thanks must go to our main sponsors listed at the top of this page, because without their continued support this event would not take place. We are also indebted to our event partners WineGB who have organised the seminar sessions. Sponsored by Ferovinum, you will find the seminar theatre in the Astor Pavilion just to the right of the catering area. I am sure you will find the line-up of speakers informative and engaging with a packed day ahead. Thank you so much for joining us on what promises to be a good day for all.

Growing year on year

Like a fine wine, the Vineyard & Winery Show has developed and matured over the years – and after four years, the 2024 event promises to be something really special.

Unveiled by Vineyard magazine in 2021, this celebration of UK vineyards, growers, winemakers and wines has grown year on year, with more stands, more features, more opportunities to do business and, of course, plenty of great wines to sample.

Organisers have this year taken the brave decision to add a third hall to the show. This means that visitors will be able to chat to representatives from around 130 different companies at this year’s event.

From viticulturists to label designers and from machinery dealers to specialist equipment manufacturers, the Vineyard & Winery Show brings together a huge range of suppliers, advisers and potential collaborators.

“We increasingly hear from people who have done real business at the show,” commented Vineyard publisher and show director Jamie McGrorty. “They chat to like-minded people, discuss ways of working together, come up with plans and do deals, all in the friendly and supportive atmosphere the show generates.

“We will again see a number of product launches this year, and the wide range of exhibitors, seminars and professional help on offer under one roof makes this year’s show the place to be for anyone connected with this industry.”

At the heart of the show, of course, is the wine, and there’s no shortage of that as the UK continues to produce wines that rival the best in the world

This year’s innovations include a new approach to the ‘wine hubs’ that have proved so popular in past

years by giving visitors a chance to sample some of the best vintages produced in the country.

For 2024, the hubs have been separated into three distinct areas, providing more focused opportunities to sample wines of a similar type.

There will be a hub featuring WineGB’s Golden 50 wines, another featuring world renowned wine writer Matthew Jukes’ favourite 36 wines from the past year, as featured in Vineyard, and another showcasing Piwi wines.

“Modern Piwi varietals, with their increased disease resistance, are becoming more and more popular with growers and will be given a more prominent role at this year’s Vineyard & Winery Show,” said Jamie. “Last year’s Piwi wines were predominantly grown and bottled overseas, but this year’s selection is of UK-grown wines, so our visitors will know how they perform in our climate and soils.”

Pattingham Vineyard’s Norton Brook 2022 highlights the rise of Piwi wines, with its 85% Solaris and 15% Siegerrebe blend good enough to have earned it a gold medal in this year’s WineGB awards and a place in the show’s Golden 50 hub.

WineGB’s ‘Golden 50’ wines have been selected from over 100 UK wines that have won Gold medals across competitions during 2024, including: Decanter World Wine Awards, IWSC, The Champagne and Sparkling Wine World Championships, Sommelier Wine Awards, London Wine Competition, Sommeliers Choice Awards, Wine GB Awards and the Welsh Wine Awards.

Exhibitors, which will include professionals such

as lawyers and accountants as well as big-name machinery dealers, packaging experts and winery suppliers, will fill the John Hendry and Maidstone halls at the event centre along with a temporary – but solid – additional hall built specifically for the event.

“We have been overwhelmed by the response from exhibitors, some of whom will be at the show for the first time having realised what a great opportunity it is to meet growers and other potential customers,” said Jamie.

The 3.15pm wine tasting of Piwi varieties will be curated by Defined Wine and sponsored by Kentbased branding agency Oak Creative. It will be held in the tasting marquee.

With Piwi wines very much to the fore, Italian nursery Vivai will be at the show displaying some of the wines they have produced from bespoke vines grown ‘to order’ based on the terroir and climate specified by the grower and the disease resistance required. After creating the specific vine, Vivai produces a small batch of wine that the grower can taste before buying and planting the vines.

Other first-time exhibitors that will add to the buzz around this year’s show include Vitimech, which offers an impressive range of tractors, mowers and ground care equipment, and Willis European, which has more than 50 years’ experience in supplying brewing, bottling and process equipment.

Kreston Reeves are sponsoring the seminar breakfast beginning at 8.30am, while the full day’s fascinating seminar programme will feature three talks and a keynote address by Patrick McGrath MW.

With four decades of experience in the wine trade, Patrick passed his Master of Wine examination in 1993 and became managing director of wine distributor Hatch Mansfield a year later. He is also the co-founder of Champagne Taittinger’s English estate, Domaine Evremond.

The seminar programme, sponsored by Ferovinum, will continue with the launch of WineGB’s three-year strategy and a presentation of the organisation’s work-plan by chief executive officer Nicola Bates.

A panel discussion entitled Future Climate Impact on Vineyards: Insights and Updates will be led by Professor Steve Dorling of Weatherquest and Dr Alistair Nesbitt of Vinescapes, who will deliver an update on climate predictions and the impact on viticulture.

Communications manager Phoebe French will then talk about the Innovate UK-funded frost project,

which began earlier this year, with a representative from Plumpton College providing an update on its work focusing on different grape varieties and frost tolerance.

The final session of the day will focus on sales, specifically the importance of restaurant sales.

The ever-popular Matthew Jukes’ wine-tasting masterclass at 1pm will be sponsored by Gullands, while Orchard Cooling and OnePay are jointly sponsoring free coffee for visitors throughout the day. Refreshments will also be available throughout the event, which begins at 9am and closes at 5pm.

Headline sponsors of the event are Core Equipment, Hutchinson’s, Vitifruit, Autajon, NFU Mutual and VineWorks, while Rankin is again providing the popular visitor bags and Agrii is sponsoring the tasting glasses.

The seminars

WineGB is once again hosting the seminar programme which will take place during the Vineyard & Winery Show on 20 November. This year, the programme will feature three talks on WineGB’s strategy, frost research and restaurant wine sales as well as a keynote address from a leading industry figure.

Now one of the UK’s leading vineyard agronomy companies, Hutchinsons was keen to sign up as a sponsor of The Vineyard Show for the fourth year running.

Head of Marketing Nick Rainsley explained that the show has provided an opportunity not just to support the industry and allow Hutchinsons’ experts to share up-to-date knowledge and information but to take the time to meet and chat to new growers within a thriving sector.

Hutchinsons has a dedicated, full-time team of vineyard specialists, including Chris Cooper and Rob Saunders, two highly experienced and well respected vineyard agronomists who contribute to Vineyard each month.

“Along with advice, Hutchinsons supplies crop protection products, nutrition and all the sundry products and services needed to manage a vine crop and to do so successfully,” Nick said. “We offer nutrition mapping and management plus soil health and soil management on organic and conventional vineyards, which is critical. Our unique healthy soils assessment looks not just at the chemical make-up of the soil but

at its physical attributes to produce a comprehensive guide to how the grower can improve it.”

The vineyard market has clearly grown rapidly over the past decade or so, but Nick believes it has changed in a more fundamental way. “Growers are now more professional and more experienced and are demanding a much higher level of service and support,” he said. “They expect more, and we are here to deliver more.

“While the main change is in the sheer scale of the industry, that more professional approach is also driving things forward. When you have investment in this country from traditional wine areas in France, you know that the game is changing – and we are here to support that.”

The leading distributors for winery equipment in the UK, Core Equipment, supply high quality products, including pneumatic grape presses, tanks, fermentation control systems and more from industry trusted manufacturers guaranteed to support evolving businesses.

At every stage of the order process, the Core team are on hand to support and help. Each project is assigned a project manager to ensure that equipment is delivered and installed as smoothly as possible, whilst the Core service team work closely with customers during installation and on an ongoing basis.

Jonathan Chaplin, Managing Director of Core Equipment explained: “As the UK’s leading supplier for winery equipment, we wanted to build on the successes from last year’s Vineyard & Winery Show and so we are really pleased to renew our sponsorship for the

2024 event. The UK wine market is experiencing phenomenal growth at present and the Vineyard & Winery Show is right at the heart of this, connecting all sectors of the wine market. Our presence as a main sponsor of the event reflects our position in the industry as a key distributor for winery equipment and it was therefore

an obvious decision to attend. The Vineyard & Winery Show is a great way to celebrate the end of harvest and allows us to speak to wine producers on how we can support their growing requirements. We are looking forward to welcoming old and new customers onto our stand at this year’s event”.

Machinery dealer Vitifruit Equipment supplies a broad range of outdoor equipment for vineyards across the UK and takes pride in providing a bespoke service based on each customer’s needs.

“We stock entry level, but still high quality, equipment for new or smaller growers but we can also provide state-of-the-art machinery from big name manufacturers for larger vineyards,” explained Richard Witt, joint owner of the Edenbridge based business.

“As an example, we stock sprayers from MM and Zupan which cost a few thousand pounds and are ideal for smaller vineyards, but we can also supply the Lipco recirculation sprayer that recycles any liquid that drips off the vines, saving up to 40% of chemical costs and eliminating drift.

“As well as sprayers, Vitifruit

supplies mowers, inter-vine cultivators and de-leafers as well as smaller items such as secateurs and tying machines,” said Richard. “Everything apart from tractors – and in most cases we can offer products across a broad price spectrum.”

Vitifruit, which Richard set up in 2010 with partner David Sayell, also offers repairs, servicing and machinery hire, looking after customers all over the country.

David Wood, the third member of the team, leads on the workshop side of the business.

Richard explained why Vitifruit have been a major sponsor since

the first year of The Vineyard & Winery Show. “The company has been with Vineyard Magazine since its inception, and David (Sayell) writes an article every month, so we feel a strong affinity with the magazine and want to continue to be supportive in whatever ways we can.

“The idea of an industry specific show for English wines and vineyards under one roof has worked a treat – and very necessary at a time when there is so much happening in the sector. It also takes place at a perfect time of the year when people are less busy.”

FIRST HALL

PIWI TASTING HUB SPONSORS

For the first time the Vineyard & Winery Show will have a dedicated Piwi wine tasting hub, offering an opportunity for visitors to the show to sample wines that are made from Piwi grape varieties. The wines will include both single varietals and wines where Piwi varieties make up part of the blend. With Piwi varieties offering significant benefits in terms of early ripening and disease resistance this is a chance for all the visitors at the show both growers and wine buyers to become better acquainted with these varieties and their benefits. This is a space that should not be missed.

Wines of the future

The Vivai Cooperative based in Ruscedo Italy produces in excess of 80 million vines a year and will for the first time be visiting the Vineyard & Winery show offering growers a chance to benefit from new clonal varieties that are particularly suited to the climate of England and Wales. With disease resistant properties that will benefit both the grower and the environment these vines are specifically chosen for their relationship to the parent vines. This is an exciting opportunity for growers, winemakers and buyers to experience wines from these new clonal varieties.

The issues of sustainability of wine production are the subject of increasing attention by the public opinion and the operators of the vine&wine supply chain worldwide.

The new generation resistant varieties represent a first positive approach to the sustainability of viticulture and wine production which is, to date, the main issue of world public opinion and professionals.

Already in 2006, the Vivai Cooperativi Rauscedo had perceived the importance of giving tangible answers to the emerging needs in terms of nursery-viticultural sustainability, and for this reason they started a fruitful collaboration with the University of Udine and the Institute of Applied Genomics with the aim of providing wine growers with new wine grape varieties resistant to the main diseases (downy mildew and powdery mildew).

The resistant varieties are obtained through interspecific crosses between susceptible Vitis vinifera varieties and a selection that bears the characteristics of resistance.

By using these varieties, it is possible to reduce phytosanitary treatments by about 70%, limit water waste, avoid unnecessary soil compaction and reduce production costs. All this, without compromising the quality, healthiness and characteristics of the wine obtained, as demonstrated by the analyzes and tastings carried out, which highlighted that the aromatic and organoleptic profile of the wines obtained from these varieties is highly appreciated by the final consumer.

The first ten resistant Italian varieties, of which VCR is exclusive licensee, were created thanks to a research activity started in 1998 by the University of Udine. VCR actively participated in the last stage of this project,

evaluating agronomic and enological traits of the new resistant varieties, which led to their registration in the National Catalogue in 2015:

◆ Fleurtai® (W.)

◆ Soreli® (W.)

◆ Sauvignon Kretos® (W.)

◆ Sauvignon Nepis® (W.)

◆ Sauvignon Rytos® (W.)

◆ Merlot Khorus® (B.)

◆ Merlot Kanthus® (B.)

◆ Cabernet Eidos® (B.)

◆ Cabernet Volos® (B.)

◆ Julius® (B.) and in 2020:

◆ Pinot Iskra® (UD. 109-033 – W.)

◆ Kersus® (UD. 109-052 – W.)

◆ Pinot Kors® (UD. 156-537 – B.)

◆ Volturnis® (UD. 156-312 – W.)

The latter have been created from the crossbreed between Pinot Noir and Pinot Blanc with new and more performing resistance donors, out of which “99-1-48” was kindly allowed by the breeder Pal Kozma.

In 2015 VCR have started their own crossbreeding program with the aim of obtaining new resistant wine, table and rootstock varieties. Particular attention has been given to autochthonous varieties and their clones, which represent the core asset of Italian viti-viniculture.

The wines from Vivai will be available on the Piwi hub and on Stand M15 in the Maidstone Hall

Challenges for English vineyards

Katie Hodson, Partner at Azets looks at

English vineyards

The English wine industry has experienced remarkable growth over the last decade, fuelled by rising temperatures, changing consumer preferences and improved wine-making techniques. However, vineyards in England face a unique set of challenges, especially in managing cash flow due to the fluctuating nature of yields year on year.

Cash flow management strategies

◆ Diversification of income streams: These additional income streams help vineyards maintain steady revenue during low-yield

years, reducing reliance solely on wine sales.

◆ Smart financial planning and reserves: Building financial reserves during high-yield years is essential for vineyard owners to weather low-yield periods.

◆ Forward contracting: Some vineyards may benefit from entering into forward contracts with buyers, locking in prices for future production. This can help smooth out revenue fluctuations and reduce the impact of yield variability.

◆ Optimising vineyard efficiency: Investing in technology and vineyard management practices that improve yield consistency can help reduce the risk of poor harvests.

◆ Long-term supply chain relationships: By establishing contracts and securing demand for their product, vineyards can plan their production and sales more effectively.

Seize the SFI opportunity

Emma Smith, Agrii agronomist specialising in fruit production, explains why the Sustainable Farming Incentive is an easy win for vineyards and other horticulture businesses.

The Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI) has much to offer growers. From payments for environmental actions to incentives that promote practices that improve sustainability, productivity and, importantly, business resilience. With 102 actions spanning a multitude of activities, the SFI has something for every farm and with a defined payment schedule, participants can plan with confidence.

Vineyards, as with many horticultural businesses, are well-placed to capitalise on the SFI. It does not offer payments on a scale with those of the Basic Payment Scheme (BPS) but as L. P. Hartley wrote in his society novel, The Go-Between, “The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there”. Instead, the SFI offers payments for actions that many consider good farming practice, including soil organic matter tests, integrated pest management (IPM) plans and variable rate application. What’s not to like about that?

Discuss how you can incorporate SFI into your vineyard businessvisit us on stand M59

but it has gained prominence since becoming a condition of the SFI. Including an IPM Plan with your SFI application is worth about £1,200, so a worthwhile exercise in every way. With every plan it is important to reflect and review. For IPM, this is not just good practice, but a statutory requirement. Your records will need to demonstrate evidence of a review with consideration given to what worked well and what could be done better to deliver an IPM strategy that is fit for future seasons. Your Agrii BASIS registered agronomist can help you with this or fully undertake it for you.

For many businesses, IPM is already widely practiced,

As with much of the SFI, being paid to maintain landscape features, sow seed mixtures that support birds and mammals or establish cover crop strips between rows of vines are easy wins for the land manager. And this is the point: it’s not onerous or complex and it is designed in such a way that it works alongside the core activities of the farm.

Other actions, such as soil and nutrient management plans, while equally rewarding need to be demonstrated in the form of a report produced by a suitably qualified person such as a FACTS registered adviser. Again, much of the hard work has been done for you. Agrii’s team of FACTS-qualified crop input specialists and agronomists are trained in the finer details of a nutrient management plan and will be able to balance the use of bagged fertiliser with lime, soil-applied iron, organic soil improvers and novel micronutrient products. RHIZA, Agrii’s precision farming service, can produce the variable rate data files and workplans needed, saving the grower unnecessary expense by ensuring only what is needed is applied.

Safeguarding the health of vines

The Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) explains who they are and how they aim to support the UK vineyard industry.

Last year we reported on the fact that we as an Agency had undertaken the first survey of UK vineyards focussed on the detection of harmful bacteria/phytoplasma and viruses which are termed Quarantine Pests and Diseases (QPDs) and listed in schedule 1 of the UK Plant Health regulations. Wherever these are found action must be taken to eradicate their threat to industry and the wider environment.

We have just completed our second survey and at the time of writing no QPDs have been found (the full results of the survey are being collated).

Our role as an executive agency of the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs covers a range of activities which include identifying and controlling exotic pests and diseases in animals, plants and bees, and surveillance of new and emerging pests and diseases. In addition to this we are committed to facilitating international trade.

As part of that role, we see the great importance of the UK vineyard industry and are committed through the work of the Plant Health and Seeds Inspectorate to help safeguard the health of vines. This work carried out by our Inspectors involves surveillance, survey work, and border controls. Our work in respect of UK vineyards is to protect them from potential quarantine pests and diseases that could compromise their health and productivity.

Our recent surveys are part and parcel of this work, and an opportunity for vineyard owners to work in

APHA is an executive agency of the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs and is responsible for:

Real life practical experience

Hadlow College are proud to be part of the Vineyard & Winery Show, with viticulture playing an important role in many of our courses.

This was aided greatly by the launch of a sustainable orchard and vineyard in March last year. Covering a three hectare site, apples, plums, cherries and apricots are grown and a section of the orchard is dedicated to producing a crop of grapes, with a training emphasis on how to set up and manage a vineyard.

The crops are grown with sustainability in mind at all times. Drones are used to monitor bud set, predict yields and monitor the growth of the crop allowing

precise applications of nutrition, pest and disease control methods to be used.

Sensors are installed throughout the orchard to monitor amongst other things: moisture, relative humidity, PAR, rain fall plus there are other exciting sensors which are currently being developed.

Like many of the top class facilities at the College, this allows students to get real life practical industry experience, something Hadlow College know is hugely beneficial to both the students and potential employers.

Gentle when operating

Wine Pump manufacturer, Vogelsang, is returning to the Vineyard & Winery Show, once again alongside winemakers, Itasca.

See us on stand M62

Vogelsang’s Richard Love will be on-hand to show how the pump works, and talk through it’s benefits to the winemaking industry. Richard said: “The Vineyard & Winery Show really is a highlight in our calendar. The word about the effectiveness of the wine pump is spreading, so we’re looking forward to showing how it works in person.”

Available as a portable or stationary unit and built for a variety of uses, the wine pump is run in every stage of the winemaking process; moving grapes, must and lees, bottling and transportation.

It has been especially designed with winermakers in Italy to be as gentle when operating as possible. As it’s pulsation-free and perfectly still, it carefully moves grapes and wine without shaking and creating foam, reducing the chances of oxygenation of the wine, whilst maintaining the wine’s flavours.

Richard added: “We will be running demonstrations of the WinePump at various locations next year, so anyone interested should visit Itasca’s stand for more details.”

Vogelsang’s wine pump returns to the Vineyard & Winery Show.

Healthy soil, healthy plants

With a long background in farming, Tom Clifton, who has set up The Soil Doctors with wife Maggie, has always been fascinated by soil, its impact on plants and how to get the very best out of it. Tom grew up on the family farm on the Cambridgeshire/Norfolk border, where his grandfather Harry ran the last threshing contracting business in Cambridgeshire.

“I was doing what’s now called ‘regen agriculture’ before it was a thing,” he recalled. “I’ve always worked with the soil and tried to cut down on expensive chemicals. Healthy plants don’t need a lot of chemicals – just decent soil.”

Back in his farming days, Tom Clifton would have planted a deep-rooting variety of radish to alleviate soil compaction and drain and aerate his fields. Now, he’s using an impressive piece of soil injection equipment,

allied to 40-plus years of experience, to tackle the problem.

Tom has invested in a Vogt Geo Injector Pro, a hightech soil injector that injects vital soil improvers and other additives into the soil at regular intervals while opening it up to ensure better drainage. While the additives – such as biochar and zeolite - are important, the main component of the injection will always be air. Before work starts, The Soil Doctors carry out a full assessment of the soil. “Clearly soil varies enormously, so we take a sample, analyse it and then use our experience to calculate the best mix of nutrients and additives to make it as good as it can be while also improving the drainage if that’s an issue,” Tom explained.

For more information on how to improve soil health Visit Soil Doctors on stand M55.

The ultimate solution for waterlogged soil

Our advanced soil aeration service restores gardens and golf greens to full health.

Air ration is critically important for plant health to help the deployment of minerals and agrominerals that otherwise are looked up in the soil.

The geo injection pro from Vogt is a real game changer in soil and plant health.

Our advanced soil aeration technique uses the Vogt Geo Injector pro for maximum aeration with minimal disruption. How the Vogt Geo Injector pro works:

Stage 1

A thin tube is inserted into the soil and air is injected at high pressure. This creates spaces within the soil to aerate it.

Stage 2

Highly compressed air is then blasted into the ground at a depth of 1 meter which aerates the soil.

Stage 3

The holes are then filled with a specialist drainage material that promotes air circulation and increases the drainage capacity.

Stage 4

When it rains, the water drains away from the surface into the soil, leaving your turf healthy and green.

Resisting applications for public rights of way

Public rights of way (PROWs) are highways that the public can legally pass along. PROWs include footpaths, bridleways, restricted byways and byways open to all traffic.

The Definitive Map is held by the local highway authorities and shows local PROWs. Under the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 (CROW), a cut-off date of 1 January 2026 was introduced to record PROWs on the Definitive Map. This meant that if a PROW was not applied for by then, it would be extinguished immediately. Furthermore, after the cut-off date, CROW would prohibit the removal or modification of any PROW even if it was “wrongly” recorded. Without consultation, however, the government in February 2022 repealed the cut-off date entirely. In March 2023, under pressure from farmers and landowners, a cut-off date was re-introduced: 1 January 2031. After the cut-off date, it will no longer be possible to apply to have a path recorded on the Definitive Map.

Many of these claimed PROWs run through land under viticulture. The reinstating of long-forgotten PROWs will adversely impact landowners because the Definitive Map cannot be changed after 2031. A landowner subject to a PROW has responsibilities to maintain the access, keep the route visible and ensure that there are no obstacles that may endanger users. If a landowner fails

to comply with these measures, he may be prosecuted. However, in August 2023, DEFRA introduced statutory guidance, known as Presumptions Guidance to advise local authorities on reinstating, diverting or extinguishing PROWs when there are concerns over the privacy, safety and security of the landowner. Where the route of the PROW is through a garden, farmyard or business premises, the impact on the landowner should be heavily weighted against the interests of public access. The guidance also states that it is in the public interest to consider diversion of the PROW rather than extinguishment, should the local authority find for the landowner. DEFRA are currently considering further reforms for possible introduction in the coming months.

UK vineyards surpass 1,000

Adrian Pearce, Partner, Kreston Reeves asks what next for the English and Welsh wine sector?

Information published by WineGB in July 2024 shows there are 1,030 vineyards in the UK and winery numbers have risen from 209 to 221. The total area of the UK under vines is 4,209 hectares, up 123% in ten years. Production volume in 2023 also rose to the equivalent of 21.6m bottles, up 77% on 2022 and sales continue to rise.

This growth represents a huge investment in the sector but producers, especially those sub 32,000 bottles per year, should consider:

◆ A decline in the number of adults drinking. A survey published by Drinkaware shows one in four members of Gen Z (age 18-24) are completely teetotal. Across all age groups people are reducing how often and how much they drink.

◆ Pricing. Sales and production costs have risen so consumers may start to question value for money. Is being English and Welsh enough when putting bottles side by side against other brands? The winery experience and cellar door sales remain hugely important.

◆ Supply and demand. With so much growth in the sector and so many vineyards yet to hit full production supply and demand may reach a point where the UK market becomes ‘saturated’, so new export markets need to be secured. Currently only those producing over 80,000 are managing to export a small amount of their production (6%), producers of 280,000 bottles (11%) and over 280,000 bottles (8%).

◆ The global climate is changing, and the UK is exposed to more weather extremes. Growers need to manage unpredictable conditions to still produce a high quality and high-volume product to cover investment and ensure ongoing cash flow for business growth. Whilst there is much to be celebrated in these figures, growers and winery owners are going to need to be looking at all aspects of their business closely to keep on top of rising costs whilst pursuing new markets.
