Clearly the English Wine trade is changing as it becomes more mainstream and output increases - many producers are planting new vineyards.
In the longer term having more stock to sell, admittedly at lower margins, is good news but in the short term it all has to be processed, stored and sold.
My feeling is that now is the time to sell Chapel Down to a larger international player in the drinks industry, this is probably the only way to unlock the full value here and the best outcome for shareholders.
