Wine TourismSomething different!
Enotourism, Wine tourism, or Vinitourism refers to tourism whose purpose is or includes the tasting, consumption or purchase of wine, often at or near the source. [1]
Where other types of tourism are often passive in nature, enotourism can consist of visits to wineries, tasting wines, vineyard walks, or even taking an active part in the harvest[2].
Enotourism, Wine tourismor Vinitourism
Enotourism, Wine tourism or Vinitourism means organizing travel around the appreciation of, tasting of, and purchase of wine.
It is a kind of tourism highly developed in many regions around the world, and it can be as simple as hopping on a wine shuttle in Napa Valley or as complicated as renting a villa in the south of France for a month.

Climate Change

Climate change http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/3749581.stmA spokesman for English Wine Producers, which represents wine makers across the country, said: "Interest in English wine has grown dramatically over the last few years."Last year's summer and subsequent quality harvest also raised England's profile as a serious wine producer.
"England is now acknowledged as the home to some outstanding sparkling wines."
This year, three French champagne houses said they were considering exporting production to Kent.
Climate change and the chalk geology of the Kent and Sussex hill prompted the move, along with high land prices in Champagne.
Wine makers in England said a change in temperature meant conditions in Kent and Sussex were now more favourable to produce the grapes used for Champagne.
