Craig

We can't say you aren't consistent!

but do they do any sparkling like the more powerful and experienced england to the south?

Last night

at a wine dinner thingy we were served an

English Rose (rosay, not the flower).

Made in the South of England, from a strange mix of varieties.

Hmm, it was

well

strange, but kinda wine like, sorta.

My first ever English wine!

I think the questionn should be "Does Scotland make any wine"?

[Eboracum]

I don't think wine is made in Scotland or ever has been even in the Middle Ages when vineyards were found quite far North in England. But it's not a stupid notion. Apparently some wine is made in Sweden which I guess has an even more unfriendly climate http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedish_wine .

If global warming proceeds at the rate predicted by some alarmists, Scotland could see flourishing Pinot Noir and Chardonnay plantations by the end of the century and Burgundy will be a desert.

I must say that 'Bottle Smash' sounds like a fine idea. That could catch on. Would be one way to deal with the wine glut...

No, the joke was pretty obvious - the search for Scottish wine was just follow up fun...
