Cakes with ale or dry white wine
Article Abstract:
English wines have existed since Roman times, but the modern industry has grown with the aid of the English Vineyards Association, which hosted its first comprehensive tasting at the Vintners' Hall, Southwark Bridge, London in May 1992. About 140 wines from 42 vineyards were presented. There are about 400 vineyards in England and Wales, 260 of them commercial. The EC has introduced a pilot scheme for quality status of the 1991 vintage. Early ripening grapes are used, often the muller-thurgau and other Germanic grapes. The next most popular is the French hybrid the seyval blanc.

Here is the future of French wine
Article Abstract:
Englishmen James Herrick and Hugh Ruman introduced classic grapes to the vin de pay area of the largest wine region in France, the Languedoc, with 344,000 hectares. Herrick's first French wine, a 1992 chardonnay vin de pays d'Oc, was produced at Domaine de la Motte. He and his Australian partners produce mass-market quality wines from classic grape varieties. This is achieved by investment in modern stainless-steel processing plant and production control.

A wine market as soft as Mr Whippy?
Article Abstract:
Decreasing prices and overproduction has affected the wine industry. Consumers are drinking less and lower quality wines because of the recession. A survey by the Wine and Spirit Association shows that wines sales have increased by 0.8%. Sparkling wines sale figures have decreased by 13.5%. Contolled apellation scheme areas in France have threatened to impose stricter regulations. Many names are allowed to produce over 20% more wine than legally allowed.
