首次有這樣大的英國酒展，是Wine and Spirit Trade Association主辦的，主角是近年大熱英國Sparkling 氣泡酒和Gin 。論複雜程度和烤烘的味道，固然是不能和香檳相提並論，但其實用的葡萄品種和釀造法也是一樣，汽泡也造得不錯、而且風格百花齊放，由微甜至乾；各款的blend 和單一品種 ; 有年份無年份多年份，畢竟沒有包伏是可以更有新意。最驚喜的是試了支臭草味勁Sauvignon Blanc 10倍的白葡萄酒Bacchus，和一支Pinot Noir, 質素也不錯。
The first English wine and British Gin tasting organized by the Wine and Spirit Trade Association (WSTA) of UK and the British Consulate . English sparkling wines have been a rising star as they use the same grape varietals and production method. On average they are a bit straight forward, but they got wide range of styles, from off dry to bone dry, NV to vintage and single varietal and every kind of blends. Better price and suitable for different kind of palates.
