Home-grown wines to beat Brexit price-hikes
As reports suggest that the cost of imported wines may increase by more than 20 per cent following the vote for the UK to leave the EU*, wine lovers should consider shopping closer to home for English wines instead.

Stopham Estate Brut Prestige (£27.00)
Au Revoir Champagne. Hello “Brexit Brut”! This English sparkling wine from Stopham Vineyard is a perfect home-grown alternative. Sussex offers similar growing conditions to the Champagne region of France, resulting in this fantastic English fizz with a lovely taste of honeyed brioche, grapefruit and citrus.
Stopham Estate Pinot Blanc (£14.95)
Sparkling English wines have been growing in popularity, but many are unaware that top quality still wines are also produced in England. With a quintessentially English nose of pear and primrose, and flavours of pink grapefruit, melon and sweet fennel, this fresh Pinot Blanc is a perfect Sancerre substitute.
Stopham Estate Rosé (£14.95)
With typically smaller vineyard yields, English wines offer quality over quantity. This off-dry Rosé is no exception. A delicious domestic wine with crunchy red fruit flavours and berry aromas it is on par with its continental counterparts. Pick up a bottle now as this Summer stunner is sure to be a sell-out.
