What will they do next?

Yikes, the Brits are making wine. It's mostly white or sparkling white and it's mostly awful. I had a glass of red something last night and couldn't drink it. I went for the white and it wasn't good either -- tasted a bit like cider (which they do know how to make), but still weird.

Now I read in this morning's Guardian that they are making a pinot noir of all things. Well, it's a sparkling pinot, but still it sells for £23, so it's right up there with a very good Oregon pinot. I will try to get my hands on some, but I'm not super optimistic that it'll be worth the price. I'm sure it won't be able to hold a candle to the Carabella we had last Saturday with our turkey dinner.
