Beste Niek,
Het is weer een tijd geleden, dat ik je belangrijke informatie over het onderwerp 'wijn' heb gestuurd. Breaking News: The Wine map is expanding !
Quote
England is a perfect example. Thirty years ago, nobody had ever heard of English sparkling wine. But as the climate has warmed, aworld-class sparkling wine industry has developed, with new vineyards being planted at a dizzying pace, primarily along the southern coast. From Kent in the east through East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Dorset and as far west as Cornwall, fine sparkling wines are being made, produced by the same method as Champagne, but with their own character. Many of the best vineyards are planted in chalky white soils that are geologically identical to the most prized soils of the Champagne region of France. Those soils have been in England for eons. But until recently, the climate was too cold. Now, Champagne companies like Taittinger and Vranken-Pommery Monopole have invested in English vineyards, hedging their bets as the once-marginal climate in Champagne has warmed. unquote
Geniet van wijn, maar met mate ! Liefs en groeten aan Mnoep en aan jou

Nu de federatie United Kingdom de EU gaan verlaten, verliezen de de
continentale wijnproducenten de belangrijke exportmarkt the UK!
No man is an Island entire of itself;
everyman is a piece of the continent,
a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were,
as well as any manner of thy friends or thine own were;
any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind.
And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for thee.
John Donne (157-1631)
