It is not surprising that people hardly ever associate Britain with wine and in fact it may astonish you to learn that grapes are grown in the open air in England and nearly 200,000 wine bottles were sold in 1975.There is nothing very new in growing grapes in Britain,in spite of the climate.The Romans planted the first vines about AD 300 and for a long time people always drank home-produced wines.What destroyed the English wine industry was not so much a change in the climate as the fact that an English King,Henry II,inherited the Bordeaux area of France as part of his dominions during the twelfth century and the imported wine provided a great deal of competition.The English wine industry did not disappear,however,until the sixteenth century,when the monks,who had been the main producers in the meantime,had their estates taken away by Henry VIII.The new owners let the vineyards die out.But now English people,probably because of their memories of holidays by the Mediterranean,drink more wine than ever and the new industry is now developing at a modest but consistent rate.

毫不奇怪人们几乎不会把酒跟英国联系在一起,然而事实会让你大吃一惊如果你知道英格兰遍地种满了葡萄,1975年一年卖掉的葡萄酒差不多20万瓶之多.尽管其气候,在英国种植葡萄并非新鲜事.罗马人在大约公元300年（在英国）种植了第一棵葡萄树,相当长的一段时间人们一直喝家酿的葡萄酒.催毁了英国的造酒业的并不是因为什么气候变化,而事实是一个英国国王,亨利二世,在12世纪继承了法国波尔多地区作为他的领地,由此进口了的葡萄酒提供了大量的竞争.英国的造酒业并没有消失,然而到了16世纪,作为葡萄酒的主要生产者的僧侣们被亨利八世没收了他们的产业.产业的新主人让葡萄园死去.但今天的英国人,可能是由于他们对地中海人节日的记忆,饮用比任何时候都多的酒,新（制酒）工业正以稳定的速度持续发展.
