It looks as though you're writing from Germany. This is a UK based
gardening group and the vines we are familiar with are not likely to
be those grown in Germany.

Not even 'Black Hamburg'? ;-)) I think that's the one that's growing
at Hampton Court - huge and amazing thing.


Actually, a fair number of vines intended for German vinyards have made
it over here, as the climate is (allegedly) very similar.

I used to know someone who planted a vinyard in East Anglia using a new
variety of early-ripening grapes - this was about twenty-five years ago...
