English wine
Land of Hope and Glory,Mother of the Free,
How shall we extol thee,
Who are born of thee?
By drinking English wine, of course. That's my project for the summer, anyway. On the whole the quality is pretty good these days if you choose carefully. Prices are relatively high, however.
Thus I can certainly recommend this week's tipple, from Yearlstone vineyard near Tiverton in Devon. They do five wines - We bought two no.1s, and two no.5s, both of which are lovely. They have sold out of 2004 red wines, but - in my experience - English red wines aren't all that. If you can't get to Devon, you can buy these online here (though I've not tried the service).
One advantage of English whites is that they are reasonably low in ABV, these range from 10.5% to 11%. So you can have two bottles.
