Henry Jeffreys & Jackie Wilks: Sparkling White Britannia?
Sorry, this event has sold out
Recent climatic changes have seen the blossoming of the wine industry in the South East, as a result of which English sparkling wine now rivals and often bests Champagne.
What does English wine do best, and what are the opportunities and dangers for the industry? Can the success story of English wine be a model for other industries as the UK plots a new course in the world after Brexit?
Henry Jeffreys, author of Vines in a Cold Climate; The people behind the English wine revolution, will be in conversation with Jackie Wilks, of Terlingham Vineyard. Henry and Jackie will be joined by Louisa Walls co-founder of John Dory Wine Shop.
Ticket price includes pours of different vintages from Terlingham Vineyard
