Well, I think that will have to wait until my next trip to England. £32 is not a bad price. But £40 for a lifetime membership and the shipping makes it a bit pricey. Will stick with my Veuve. It is already here. 😊

I don't think much gets exported, but you can order it from thewinesociety.com, sadly you don't get free shipping if you are outside the UK. The iffy English weather means that single-vintage wines are rarely available and if they are you are looking at north of £ 80, which is still good value compared with expensive French fizz.
English wines don't have an Appellation Controlee system, so the wine is simply labelled 'Product of England', don't be fooled, this is a rare wine for special occasions.
