What is the difference between English and Welsh wine and British wine?
English and Welsh wine is produced from fresh grapes grown in England and Wales and is governed by the EU Wine Regime. Whereas British wine is a form of ‘made wine’ that is manufactured in the UK and Ireland from imported grapes, grape juice, grape must or a combination of these with fruit or fruit juices etc. Although ‘made wine’ products can be called ‘wine’ they must be prefixed with a term such as British, mead, fruit, tonic etc. These products are not governed by the EU Wine Regime.
