Following in a grape/great tradition.
(Sorry!)

Vine growing and wine making were introduced to the British Isles by the Romans and Wrotham Pinot is directly descended from original Roman varieties. I read somewhere you can still buy this variety. Of course, it was a bit warmer then! It seems to have lasted up to Norman times to some extent as the Domesday survey recorded thirty-nine vineyards.

I grew Muller-Thurgau aginst a lovely warm brick wall in my garden near Tunbridge Wells and we had a few bottles ready when we got married!
