    Hello from Surrey, England!

    Hello! You’re right, Phoenix is commonly grown outside here for English still wine. Thanks to global warming, we are mostly known for our fizz which is classic method. The South Downs, which stretch across the South-East where I live, are a chalk escarpment that stretches across the channel all...

    Amarone grapes

    I've never understood which of the food and drink classifications that the USA has to respect (my ignorance of international trading law). The likes of Champagne appears well protected worldwide, including the USA (apart from a loophole for California). However, a couple of summers ago I was in...

    Post a photo, any photo

    This collage popped up on our digital photo frame this morning. Soave, in early April 2019 - the vines were only just in bud. We are hoping to drive down to Veneto in the coming weeks (restriction dependant), in which case I will endeavour to capture a similar photo whilst the vines in full foliage.

    Hello from Surrey, England!

    Thank you for the welcome. I was surprised when the avatar was pulled across automatically from another forum. The sketch is of a Soviet concept Ekranoplans - an aircraft that just skims the surface of the waves. There is a reasonably short and interesting YouTube documentary on them: The...

    Hello from Surrey, England!

    Hello everyone, I'm a complete newcomer from southern England. My fiancée and I are growing Gewürztraminer and Phoenix in pots, with the intention to move them under glass to ripen up. We've never tried making wine before, so are excited to start practising on our own grapes. That said, both...

    Gewurztraminer (V.Small Scale) - Problems (Mildew?)

    Dear Dennis and Xnke, thank you very much indeed for your help. Perhaps the photo is at a misleading angle to properly display the size of the container – of one thing I am certain is that the vines are in appropriately sized pots. At least I was certain 😁. The Royal Horticultural Society...

    Gewurztraminer (V.Small Scale) - Problems (Mildew?)

    Thank you very much for your continued help, you have an encyclopaedic knowledge! My vines aren't grafted, they have their own roots. I don't believe phyloxera is a major problem in England right now (based on this link) and hopefully the pots will mitigate this a little too (I can at least...

    Gewurztraminer (V.Small Scale) - Problems (Mildew?)

    Thank you so much, it is very greatly appreciated. At least now I have some confidence in the problem, so that I can try to solve it. I've just been reading some old threads on this site about downy mildew so have a variety of ideas now. I will try something more hardy to disease, perhaps...

    Gewurztraminer (V.Small Scale) - Problems (Mildew?)

    Hello all, I'm new here. I joined so that I could read through old posts to help identify an issue I'm having. I live in the south of England (Surrey) and for three years I have been growing Gewürztraminer - in pots - on a very small scale indeed. I have just four vines. I am in my early...
