Not sure if this can go in this section or the Wine one? Went to NZ recently and bought a few bottles of Cloudy Bay for gifts as I visited the vineyard. Apperently they don't sell much to the UK so when we told out local wine retailer the name of the bottle he was quite envious. They only sell to one supermarket in the UK, once a year for about 10 pound a bottle or so were informed. Great vineyard if ever in New Zealand and you get to taste rather a lot of the wine :D

There was something on the news yesterday about Britsih versions of Champagne. Also we may have to mention the cider farms like the one in Lincolnshire. Though in a way I think they can keep under this heading as not that many people wil have visited cider producers and vineyards, it just adds a little diversity into the rich fabric of the board Laughing
