It\u2019s a success story, for sure.<\/p>\n<p>In 2014, production was the equivalent of 6.3 million 75 cl bottles, which is a 42% increase in volume over 2013 (which itself was a record breaking year). This is a reflection of a good growing season with the added impact of lots of new plantings coming on line.<\/p>\n<p>There is no official breakdown of styles, but the two trade bodies, English Wine Producers (EWP) and United Kingdom Vineyards Association (UKVA), reckon that of this 6.3 million bottles, there were 4 million bottles of sparkling wine produced.<\/p>\n<p>The area under vine has doubled in seven years, and is now just over 2000 hectares. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are the most popular varieties. Bacchus, widely used for still wines, is the third most widely planted grape variety.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018There\u2019s no doubt about it,\u2019 says Julia Trustram Eve of English Wine Producers, \u2018England\u2019s future is certainly a bright one.\u2019 She cites a growing acreage, larger volumes to sell to meet demand and international recognition through competition successes as evidence for this. In addition, in 2016 the UK will host the International Cool Climate Wine Symposium. \u2018It couldn\u2019t be at a better time,\u2019 says Julia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Released today, some interesting stats on English wine.
