Sussex
The region of Sussex has the title of the sunniest place in the UK and rainfall is below average. Sussex has the most densely planted vineyards of any county in the UK and the wines produced and labelled as Sussex wine are protected; meaning they must adhere to stringent quality guidelines. Sussex is home to Plumpton College, where it is possible to obtain degrees in wine production and wine business (the staff at Seven Cellars have all earned their degrees there). Climate change may have had a big impact on the grapes now grown in Sussex and the superb quality of the wines produced there.
