Vineyard hotels are becoming a popular destination for wine lovers and travellers in need of a countryside break in the UK's burgeoning wine country. British wine industry has progressed to a €350 million award-winning industry.
I swirl the remainder of a garnet-red Pinot Noir, gazing out at the rolling hills from where it came. It’s a mesmerising landscape of endless neat rows of vines, their delicate tendrils stretching towards the beating sun. I finish the last of the glass, and take leave from this wine-tasting lunch, ready for a little lie-down. And mercifully, my room in this quaint vineyard hotel is a few staggered steps away. This wine escape isn’t in Burgundy in France, or Marlborough in New Zealand.
I’m in Denbies in southeast England, the heart of the UK’s burgeoning wine country, where vineyard hotels are fast becoming a popular destination for wine lovers and travellers in need of a countryside break. Once scoffed at for their inferior products, British wine has progressed to a €350 million award-winning industry. The next stage of maturity is expanding the vineyard sites to offer on-site accommodation – ranging from converted barns found in Tillingham, to the five-star rooms of Lympstone Manor or the glamping site in the Secret Valley in Somerse

Somalia on the Brink of Famine as Mass Starvation WorsensAgencies say Somalia is ‘on the brink of famine’, but evidence suggests the extent of mass starvation is much worse. Residents count the mounds of dirt marking the newly dug graves of children in a camp for displaced people in Baidoa, Somalia. Abdirahman’s mother held him close, though she believed he was already dead. The skeletal 11-month-old boy was unconscious on the long minibus ride to Somalia’s capital Mogadishu, from Janale, in Lower Shabelle – nearly 100km away. Beside them sat the boy’s aunt, Siciido Osman Gasim. Now, they were sitting in an intensive care unit in Banadir Hospital, where Abdirahman lay connected to a drip.
