Scottish wine to be produced later this year - weather permitting

Currently the most northerly British wine producer is in Yorkshire, which must be tricky enough. But according to The Drinks Business.com, an optimistic  Scottish chef is preparing to launch the first commercially-produced Scottish wine, provided there is enough sunshine.

Pete Gottgens is planning to harvest grapes at his Perthshire hotel later this year, and wants to use them to produce a crisp Riesling.

He plans to sell the wine in his hotel restaurant and run classes in wine-producing, although he will turn his crop into vinegar if it is not good enough.

A very brave chap.
