You do bang on about the inferiority of English wines. That's the second
time in as many months that I've seen you put English wines down. Since
you don't usually say things about which you have no experience I assume
that you must have tasted English wines recently. Therefore I would put
your opinion down to personal taste rather than quality per se.

Quite. A Norfolk vinyard won Best Wine in an internatiuonal judging,
against all comers - including French and German. And that was back ten
or fifteen years.

Wine was Magdalen, from Pulham Market. (Pulham St. Mary Magdalen)
