Fewer and fewer young people guzzling vast quantities of mass these days. And I feel that a lot of those that do are just going through the motions
Hi all,
At the weekend I went on a lovely vineyard tour and tasting in Wales (yes, vineyards in Wales!) and the whole concept piqued my interest.
The number of UK vineyards is growing quite considerably, partly fuelled by climate change creating more favourable growing conditions in the UK and elsewhere (interesting FT article on the broader agricultural impacts). It is also tipping traditional wine-growing areas such as Bordeaux into climates that are unsuitably hot for wine growing. According to the Welsh vineyard owner lots of these French wine firms are now scrambling for suitable sites further north in Brittany and even in the UK.
I'm no expert, but UK wine seems to be growing in prominence and has an increasing number of respect and award winning wines. That said, I'm mindful that sometimes these 'awards' are given out firms that are created solely for that purpose and they don't always indicate great quality.
I also wonder whether post-Brexit there may be a greater market for domestic consumption of UK wine, and additional emphasis from govt and industry to drive exports. Within the UK market there are also ecological/green arguments for sourcing 'local' wine versus imports.
Does anyone have any exposure to UK wine growers or related industries? Or any thoughts on whether there is an investment opportunity here?
Thanks!
When the Church of Ireland became the official state church the property of the Catholic church was appropriated and Catholic churches were changed i.e statues were removed etc and brought under the new Anglican Church.

Just a question to be honest.
Being a brit, I've always wondered by zootopia was changed in the UK to zootropolis?
Did it sound better? Did it sound like metropolis which made more sense as it was a city?
