The Rise of English Bubbles. A Compendium of Facts, Fables and Follies

A witty and informative celebration of English Sparkling Wine 

Pre-orders will begin dispatching from 9th November 

Did you know that the English were the first to document the method behind sparkling wine? Did you know southern England now enjoys growing temperatures similar toChampagne a few decades ago? We Brits are among the world’s biggest consumers of sparkling wine so it’s hardly surprising we’re making our own - and apparently doing it rather well! Indeed you can’t board a British Airways business class flight or attend a state banquet (as one does!) without finding an English Sparkling Wine served alongside the best of the best. Even the Champagne houses are now investing!

The Rise of English Bubbles: A Compendium of Facts, Fables and Follies is unlike most books on English wine. Rather than working solemnly vineyard by vineyard or disappearing into the technical depths of soils and vintages, it serves up a lively mix of surprising facts, fascinating stories and historical curiosities, all brought to life with delightful illustrations.
