English wine harvest 'not looking good', say winemakers
Jul 4, 2012 6
(Decanter) - As England continues to suffer the wettest early summer since records began, winemakers are beginning to wonder if they are going to have any grapes to harvest at all. Rain has fallen across England more or less continuously since the beginning of June, and the Met Office has confirmed this has not only been the wettest, but one of the coldest and dullest periods for over a century.
Figures for June show that 150mm of rain fell – more than double the average amount.
