First, Patrick chats to Henry Jeffreys, the celebrated drinks journalist, about his highly-acclaimed new book Vines in a Cold Climate: the people behind the English wine revolution. Henry tells him that the world of English wine is still very much in its infancy – he also paints a picture of an industry full of extraordinary people who will stop at nothing to produce the best product they can. Henry tells Patrick about the history of wine in this country and how important it is that winemakers get their branding right.

Patrick then, based on Henry’s recommendation, drives to Flint Vineyard, on the Norfolk / Suffolk border, where hares lollop among the vines and sheep eat the weeds. Flint is one of the most interesting English winemakers around. They do things their way and the results, Patrick learns when they get a few bottles out, are extraordinary.
