0:00:02 > 0:00:03Across the country,

0:00:03 > 0:00:07thousands of farming families work tirelessly around the clock.

0:00:07 > 0:00:08Oh!

0:00:08 > 0:00:11Stop arguing, girls! Give over!

0:00:11 > 0:00:14HE BLOWS WHISTLE

0:00:14 > 0:00:16But there's one day each year

0:00:16 > 0:00:20when they get to leave the daily routine behind.

0:00:20 > 0:00:22Right, here we come, Dorset.

0:00:22 > 0:00:24These are show days...

0:00:24 > 0:00:27- OVER MEGAPHONE:- A very, very warm welcome to Melplash Show.

0:00:27 > 0:00:29..where they come together as a community...

0:00:31 > 0:00:33..to showcase the fruits of their labour...

0:00:33 > 0:00:36I just love showing my girls off.

0:00:36 > 0:00:40..and try to win prizes for their breed champions...

0:00:40 > 0:00:42- Smashed it. - SHEEP BLEATS

0:00:42 > 0:00:43..and award-winning produce.

0:00:43 > 0:00:46- That's really nice cheese, that. - KID BLEATS

0:00:47 > 0:00:49It was very good, darling.

0:00:49 > 0:00:51There will be highs...

0:00:51 > 0:00:53That's what we want to see - red. Red is the best!

0:00:53 > 0:00:57- ..and lows... - She's not happy enough to go.

0:00:57 > 0:01:03..for the dedicated farmers who give everything to walk away a champion.

0:01:03 > 0:01:04Fingers crossed!

0:01:13 > 0:01:17The UK wine market is now worth nearly £20 billion

0:01:17 > 0:01:20and English vineyards are on the rise,

0:01:20 > 0:01:24in an effort to garner some of that lucrative market.

0:01:26 > 0:01:28- Lovely aroma.- Fantastic.

0:01:28 > 0:01:32The Lindo family - Bob, Annie and their son, Sam -

0:01:32 > 0:01:34from Bodmin, Cornwall,

0:01:34 > 0:01:37and artisan winemakers John and Kim Coulson,

0:01:37 > 0:01:39and their family from Penzance,

0:01:39 > 0:01:41have been working tirelessly

0:01:41 > 0:01:44in the build-up to the South West Wine Awards.

0:01:45 > 0:01:47Awards lead to increased business

0:01:47 > 0:01:52and the medals and trophies are vital for vineyard survival.

0:02:05 > 0:02:08In the heart of Cornwall's beautiful landscape

0:02:08 > 0:02:11lies a thriving 25-acre vineyard.

0:02:13 > 0:02:15Established nearly 30 years ago,

0:02:15 > 0:02:18its story mirrors the story of English wine -

0:02:18 > 0:02:23one of struggle, determination and a slow-burning success.

0:02:27 > 0:02:31It all started 34 years ago, when a young couple,

0:02:31 > 0:02:36Bob and Annie Lindo, decided to make new lives for themselves.

0:02:38 > 0:02:43Bob had spent 16 years as a fighter pilot and it was time to come home.

0:02:44 > 0:02:47We wanted to work together. We thought we might be able to.

0:02:47 > 0:02:51I think we have, yeah. We've done well. We're still together.

0:02:51 > 0:02:54So, with no experience whatsoever,

0:02:54 > 0:02:57they moved to Cornwall and bought a farm.

0:02:58 > 0:03:01We did sheep and beef to start with, for several years.

0:03:01 > 0:03:04COWS MOO

0:03:07 > 0:03:10Then, almost a decade into this rural dream,

0:03:10 > 0:03:13Bob and Annie suddenly had a light bulb moment

0:03:13 > 0:03:15about one of their fields.

0:03:15 > 0:03:19It was known by the family before us as "meadow down under".

0:03:19 > 0:03:21It was a little meadow that grew anything.

0:03:21 > 0:03:25It's so warm here and this field just looked so obvious

0:03:25 > 0:03:27that it was crying out to have vines in.

0:03:27 > 0:03:31So, we thought if it can grow anything and it's as warm as this,

0:03:31 > 0:03:34let's try some vines on it and it's worked, so there you go.

0:03:36 > 0:03:41The south-west was home to hundreds of farms but very few vineyards.

0:03:41 > 0:03:44Bob and Annie were one of the pioneers.

0:03:45 > 0:03:47I think really, in the beginning,

0:03:47 > 0:03:49there weren't many vineyards and those that were,

0:03:49 > 0:03:53it was a bit of a hobby really, and there was no money to invest,

0:03:53 > 0:03:55so people might retire from their former career,

0:03:55 > 0:03:58do it as a bit of a sideline

0:03:58 > 0:04:01and there was no perfectionism in it really.

0:04:01 > 0:04:05I can remember two or three good winemakers at the time,

0:04:05 > 0:04:09but they were very rare and they got swamped in poor wine, really,

0:04:09 > 0:04:12and so they got overlooked. But I think, with us, it had to work.

0:04:12 > 0:04:15We had no other form of income. If it didn't work, we didn't eat.

0:04:16 > 0:04:21As Bob worked and planted, Annie pruned that first field by hand,

0:04:21 > 0:04:24while still looking after the family.

0:04:24 > 0:04:26It was known as Annie's field.

0:04:28 > 0:04:31We dug all the holes and we did all the hard work to start with

0:04:31 > 0:04:34and, in fact, these five acres, 8,000 vines,

0:04:34 > 0:04:39we hoed by hand for two years when they were baby vines.

0:04:39 > 0:04:41It was ridiculous.

0:04:41 > 0:04:45This is really nice, a really lovely bush. Look at that.

0:04:45 > 0:04:47- That IS a good bush. - Fantastic grapes on it.

0:04:47 > 0:04:50- That's proper pruning, you see. - Yeah.- That's what does it.

0:04:50 > 0:04:54Yes, I suppose after 27 years of it, you get the idea of it.

0:04:54 > 0:04:57- You probably get the hang of it, yeah.- Yeah.

0:05:00 > 0:05:03And of course now, all people do is phone up,

0:05:03 > 0:05:05a tractor comes, plants the vineyard.

0:05:05 > 0:05:08We were doing the work and not paying ourselves,

0:05:08 > 0:05:12so we were living on lamb and wine for a long period of time.

0:05:12 > 0:05:15But there are worse things to live on.

0:05:15 > 0:05:18But their resolve would be tested even further,

0:05:18 > 0:05:20as it would be a three-year wait

0:05:20 > 0:05:22before they could sell their first bottles

0:05:22 > 0:05:26and no certainty that it would be any good.

0:05:34 > 0:05:38Just less than 50 miles away, in picturesque Penzance,

0:05:38 > 0:05:40lies the Polgoon Vineyard.

0:05:40 > 0:05:42John Coulson and his wife, Kim,

0:05:42 > 0:05:45who have built it up from scratch,

0:05:45 > 0:05:47also have an equally dramatic beginning.

0:05:51 > 0:05:5311 years ago, they were fish merchants,

0:05:53 > 0:05:57living in Cornwall's main fishing port of Newlyn.

0:05:57 > 0:06:01They had four children between them and another on the way.

0:06:04 > 0:06:07We had number five on the way and needed somewhere bigger to live.

0:06:09 > 0:06:11Their search eventually brought them

0:06:11 > 0:06:15to the 18th-century Polgoon farmhouse and lands.

0:06:16 > 0:06:19They wanted to sell the farm, which was about 23 acres.

0:06:19 > 0:06:21It was in quite a state.

0:06:21 > 0:06:25It was literally completely derelict farmhouse, small cottage,

0:06:25 > 0:06:27that needed doing up from scratch.

0:06:28 > 0:06:31They took the plunge. They now had space,

0:06:31 > 0:06:34in fact enough land to make a dozen football pitches.

0:06:35 > 0:06:40Now John and Kim needed to come up with an idea on how to make it pay.

0:06:40 > 0:06:42What do you do with land in Cornwall?

0:06:42 > 0:06:45It's quite difficult to come up with something creative.

0:06:45 > 0:06:49You've got potatoes, flowers, things that every farmer does down here.

0:06:49 > 0:06:52So, we thought it would be nice to try and do something different.

0:06:52 > 0:06:56As former fish merchants with no experience in winemaking,

0:06:56 > 0:06:59they had to learn the business from scratch.

0:06:59 > 0:07:02Yeah, it's very hard work. It is very hard work.

0:07:02 > 0:07:04And I don't think you go into any type of farming

0:07:04 > 0:07:07without being prepared for that,

0:07:07 > 0:07:09but I guess we probably were a little naive

0:07:09 > 0:07:12with the amount that we knew in the beginning.

0:07:12 > 0:07:15The path that we chose has been a bit of a rollercoaster.

0:07:15 > 0:07:17We've had good years and bad years

0:07:17 > 0:07:19and it's certainly not for the fainthearted.

0:07:19 > 0:07:21To Kim and John's surprise,

0:07:21 > 0:07:25they struck gold with their first attempt at winemaking -

0:07:25 > 0:07:29a trophy for the best rose in the country.

0:07:29 > 0:07:32It was really exciting. We had to go up to London

0:07:32 > 0:07:35to the House of Lords to collect the award.

0:07:35 > 0:07:36I think, at the time,

0:07:36 > 0:07:39we probably were struggling to get the train fare together, but...

0:07:41 > 0:07:43But the good start was not to last.

0:07:43 > 0:07:482008's financial crash came with a torrent of bad weather.

0:07:50 > 0:07:53It left the vineyard on the brink of closure.

0:07:53 > 0:07:56With the family home tied up in the property,

0:07:56 > 0:07:58John and Kim were desperate for a solution.

0:08:00 > 0:08:03I think there's every chance our business would have failed

0:08:03 > 0:08:06if we'd just relied on making wine every year.

0:08:06 > 0:08:10We had to do something to keep the business and the family home going.

0:08:26 > 0:08:30In truth, the south-west has more cattle, calves,

0:08:30 > 0:08:33sheep and lambs than any other region in the country.

0:08:33 > 0:08:36Its dairy and beef herds account for almost a third

0:08:36 > 0:08:39of the nation's stock.

0:08:39 > 0:08:42You might even find the odd alpaca.

0:08:44 > 0:08:48Its Cheddar and goat's cheeses are widely known

0:08:48 > 0:08:51but its wines are only beginning to have the same impact.

0:08:53 > 0:08:55In fact, the old joke used to be,

0:08:55 > 0:08:59how many people does it take to drink a glass of English wine?

0:08:59 > 0:09:02It takes three people to drink a glass - two to hold them down

0:09:02 > 0:09:04and one to pour it... one to pour it in.

0:09:04 > 0:09:06But those days are long gone, you know.

0:09:06 > 0:09:10People expect an awful lot of a modern English wine

0:09:10 > 0:09:12and so they should.

0:09:13 > 0:09:16As both vineyards aim to keep English wine on the world stage,

0:09:16 > 0:09:19one of their secret weapons is their family.

0:09:21 > 0:09:24They both have very entrepreneurial children,

0:09:24 > 0:09:26who are following in their footsteps.

0:09:29 > 0:09:33For Annie and Bob, the future of their life's work has been assured

0:09:33 > 0:09:38by their 39-year-old son, Sam, who is now in charge of the winemaking.

0:09:40 > 0:09:43My dad says I grew up in a barrel, I was born in a barrel.

0:09:43 > 0:09:45So, I've always been around

0:09:45 > 0:09:48what my mum and dad are doing at the vineyard.

0:09:48 > 0:09:51Obviously, as you get older, you have a little less energy,

0:09:51 > 0:09:55and Sam brought this energy and enthusiasm with him.

0:09:55 > 0:09:58Well, it's great, because I think if you have a relative,

0:09:58 > 0:10:02your own son, working with you, it's like having yourself.

0:10:02 > 0:10:06There doesn't seem a time when Sam isn't thinking about wine.

0:10:06 > 0:10:08It feels like a hobby.

0:10:09 > 0:10:12My wife says, "Are you going to have your 40th birthday off?

0:10:12 > 0:10:16"What are you going to do?" I was like, "Can I go back to work?"

0:10:17 > 0:10:21Even the biggest days in his life can't distract him.

0:10:21 > 0:10:25I think, when I got married, we got given a glass of champagne

0:10:25 > 0:10:27to have our photo taken in the wedding car

0:10:27 > 0:10:30and my uncle snapped me smelling the wine.

0:10:30 > 0:10:33I'm going, "What does this wine smell like?"

0:10:33 > 0:10:36My wife's going, "Stop it! You're not at work now!"

0:10:36 > 0:10:40Sam's commitment to wine and his family knows no bounds.

0:10:42 > 0:10:45A few years ago, he brought them together

0:10:45 > 0:10:47when he created a brut rose

0:10:47 > 0:10:51from the grapes grown in his mother's very special field.

0:10:52 > 0:10:54We called it Annie's Anniversary,

0:10:54 > 0:10:57because Annie had pruned here for 20 years at the time.

0:10:57 > 0:11:00She got to her hundred-thousandth vine

0:11:00 > 0:11:02and we thought we'd like to commemorate it,

0:11:02 > 0:11:05so Sam made Annie's Anniversary Brut.

0:11:05 > 0:11:07And it's been so successful, we've made it every year since.

0:11:09 > 0:11:13The amazing thing is, our son made this wine.

0:11:15 > 0:11:18This wine producer has grown from nothing

0:11:18 > 0:11:20to one of the leaders in the country,

0:11:20 > 0:11:25producing 100,000 bottles of award-winning wines every year.

0:11:25 > 0:11:28Sam is determined to build on this.

0:11:28 > 0:11:30When I started having children,

0:11:30 > 0:11:33it really dawned on me about the potential and the possibility,

0:11:33 > 0:11:35that this business could be something

0:11:35 > 0:11:37to hand down into generations.

0:11:38 > 0:11:41And I think, I've travelled around the world

0:11:41 > 0:11:43and I've been to New Zealand and worked in big wineries

0:11:43 > 0:11:46but, actually, the thing that's really hard to achieve

0:11:46 > 0:11:50in the world is a 100-year-old business.

0:11:50 > 0:11:52And really, that's the exciting thing now,

0:11:52 > 0:11:55is that we're trying to put this family business

0:11:55 > 0:11:58on that kind of footing, that it can go on for 100 years.

0:12:06 > 0:12:08On the other side of Cornwall,

0:12:08 > 0:12:13the Polgoon Vineyard is also growing its own dynasty.

0:12:15 > 0:12:18Do you want to just get this one at the top?

0:12:20 > 0:12:22- Right up here. - I can't reach up there!

0:12:22 > 0:12:24THEY CHUCKLE

0:12:26 > 0:12:29Kim's eldest son, Ben, has been helping out

0:12:29 > 0:12:31since he was a young lad.

0:12:31 > 0:12:33Come round this side.

0:12:33 > 0:12:35This year, he is in charge of pressing

0:12:35 > 0:12:40the newly-harvested crop - a seven-day-a-week job.

0:12:40 > 0:12:42You tell your friends your parents own a vineyard

0:12:42 > 0:12:45and they think it's just some glamorous business

0:12:45 > 0:12:46where you're drinking wine all the time.

0:12:46 > 0:12:49Come harvest time, you've got to press everything the same day,

0:12:49 > 0:12:52get it into tanks and, at that point, you're only halfway done.

0:12:52 > 0:12:55You've then got to concentrate on making a good wine from that,

0:12:55 > 0:12:58so it doesn't really slow down at all.

0:13:00 > 0:13:03Eldest daughter Emma has also come into the business.

0:13:03 > 0:13:08My job, here at Polgoon, is, well, to do everything, really.

0:13:08 > 0:13:12As a family business, that's kind of what happens.

0:13:12 > 0:13:16You help out wherever you're needed and you get involved in everything.

0:13:16 > 0:13:18Do you want this up or...?

0:13:19 > 0:13:21Is it all right up? Yeah?

0:13:21 > 0:13:24That includes some marketing, being her mum's PA,

0:13:24 > 0:13:29helping with the bottling and, recently, a new, terrifying role.

0:13:29 > 0:13:32And this season, which is quite a jump for me,

0:13:32 > 0:13:33I got involved doing the tours.

0:13:33 > 0:13:36Have we got everybody on the tour today?

0:13:36 > 0:13:38Please do bring your drinks up. Absolutely no problem.

0:13:38 > 0:13:40Wish I had one.

0:13:40 > 0:13:43Well, quite proudly - and we shout about it a lot -

0:13:43 > 0:13:45we're what we call single estate,

0:13:45 > 0:13:49which means everything that we produce, we grow.

0:13:49 > 0:13:5390% of the tasting is done with your nose.

0:13:53 > 0:13:57Pinch the bottom with two fingers and use your thumb as a support.

0:13:57 > 0:14:00That allows you to get a good swirling action.

0:14:00 > 0:14:03Unfortunately, these are proper wine tasting glasses,

0:14:03 > 0:14:06but if you're like me and have got a big nose,

0:14:06 > 0:14:08you can't get your nose in.

0:14:08 > 0:14:10So, if you tip it to the side,

0:14:10 > 0:14:13it gives a bigger surface area anyway

0:14:13 > 0:14:16and allows you to get a nicer smell from it.

0:14:19 > 0:14:24I'm probably known as the least confident member of the family.

0:14:24 > 0:14:27I actually found out that I get more claps than my brother did,

0:14:27 > 0:14:30so I really like that one!

0:14:30 > 0:14:32OK, let's go.

0:14:32 > 0:14:35With a family this involved,

0:14:35 > 0:14:38even ten-year-old Georgia wants to get on board.

0:14:38 > 0:14:40Have a look.

0:14:41 > 0:14:44She is learning how to grade the grapes.

0:14:44 > 0:14:46On the one...

0:14:46 > 0:14:48No, on the percent mass...

0:14:55 > 0:14:58But having a family who can push the business is not enough

0:14:58 > 0:15:00when times are tough.

0:15:01 > 0:15:05Although we started with a competition and a trophy

0:15:05 > 0:15:07and a real wow factor,

0:15:07 > 0:15:10we then had a couple of years when we weren't getting

0:15:10 > 0:15:12the grapes that we needed to make wine,

0:15:12 > 0:15:14to give us enough bottles to sell.

0:15:14 > 0:15:17The family refused to give up and, instead,

0:15:17 > 0:15:22decided to look to another fruit, in an effort to save their home.

0:15:22 > 0:15:26We had planted a few trees in the orchard to make apple juice

0:15:26 > 0:15:28and we started making a cider

0:15:28 > 0:15:31that just turned out to be amazing, didn't it?

0:15:34 > 0:15:37We had to diversify into other drinks,

0:15:37 > 0:15:41because the wine trade wasn't sustainable for us.

0:15:43 > 0:15:45The vineyard's the main focus, the main passion,

0:15:45 > 0:15:48but the cider's really exploded alongside that

0:15:48 > 0:15:50and the soft drinks and everything else.

0:15:50 > 0:15:52That's, obviously, in part, attributed

0:15:52 > 0:15:54to the hard work and the passion,

0:15:54 > 0:15:58but also the Cornish and regional thirst for quality local produce.

0:15:58 > 0:16:00We've kind of come in just at the right time, really.

0:16:07 > 0:16:10Surviving in an industry like English wine

0:16:10 > 0:16:14takes a lot of ingenuity, but it is producing results.

0:16:15 > 0:16:19Here, in the City of London, there is a massive fan base

0:16:19 > 0:16:22and some have even turned their love into a business.

0:16:22 > 0:16:24I guess I was just completely impressed

0:16:24 > 0:16:29and overwhelmed when I started tasting English wine.

0:16:29 > 0:16:31There are a lot more restaurants

0:16:31 > 0:16:34that are now promoting English wine than there used to be.

0:16:34 > 0:16:38I think it's actually more common now to find English wines,

0:16:38 > 0:16:41especially, in pubs and restaurants, not just in London

0:16:41 > 0:16:45but in some really random and obscure places as well,

0:16:45 > 0:16:46which is always quite exciting.

0:16:48 > 0:16:50I think the vines are getting older,

0:16:50 > 0:16:53I think people are growing the right vines in the right area.

0:16:53 > 0:16:56More recently, I think I'm very proud of the fact

0:16:56 > 0:17:00that England is able to focus on quality rather than mass production

0:17:00 > 0:17:05and, you know, it's for this reason that we tend to be winning awards.

0:17:05 > 0:17:08It's also attracting a lot of investment, a lot more interest.

0:17:10 > 0:17:12- Mm.- A glass of that? - It's lovely, yeah.

0:17:12 > 0:17:14I'm just really proud that we've probably got

0:17:14 > 0:17:17about 70 different wines currently on the shelves.

0:17:22 > 0:17:26But English wine hasn't always been taken seriously.

0:17:26 > 0:17:29- Have you ever drunk an English wine? - No.

0:17:29 > 0:17:33I haven't really. I've only had English wine once, in Cornwall.

0:17:33 > 0:17:36Another joke that seems to be recycled is,

0:17:36 > 0:17:38how do you make a fortune out of English wine?

0:17:38 > 0:17:40You start with a larger fortune.

0:17:40 > 0:17:44It's still a work in progress to shift public perception.

0:17:44 > 0:17:48Generally speaking, people look towards France

0:17:48 > 0:17:51for the, kind of, Mecca of where wine comes from,

0:17:51 > 0:17:53and the kind of knowledge and the experience,

0:17:53 > 0:17:57and it's very much more engrained in their culture.

0:17:57 > 0:18:02And I think it's lost its stigma because of the investment

0:18:02 > 0:18:05that we've made and people, as a consequence,

0:18:05 > 0:18:07are turning their heads, now, towards English wine.

0:18:12 > 0:18:14And it's slowly beginning to take

0:18:14 > 0:18:17some serious steps onto the world stage.

0:18:17 > 0:18:19Definitely, in recent years,

0:18:19 > 0:18:22English wine has kind of ramped up its production.

0:18:22 > 0:18:25There's now nearly 500 vineyards in the country

0:18:25 > 0:18:28and I think it went from £78 million a year

0:18:28 > 0:18:31to being worth over £100 million a year

0:18:31 > 0:18:34in revenue last year, which is so exciting.

0:18:34 > 0:18:38It's just such a great time to be involved in this kind of industry.

0:18:47 > 0:18:52Back in Camel Valley, Bob and son Sam are turning their attention

0:18:52 > 0:18:55to the upcoming wine awards.

0:18:55 > 0:18:57When my dad made his first wine

0:18:57 > 0:19:00and entered it into a competition and it won something,

0:19:00 > 0:19:05he realised he needed that to validate what he'd been doing.

0:19:07 > 0:19:10When I won this and I had to bring it home on easyJet,

0:19:10 > 0:19:11and I went to the easyJet desk and said,

0:19:11 > 0:19:13"Look, I've got this trophy I won

0:19:13 > 0:19:17"for the best sparkling rose in the world and we won it for England,"

0:19:17 > 0:19:19they said, "Well, we won't charge you then."

0:19:19 > 0:19:23Isn't that good? Excess baggage - nothing.

0:19:29 > 0:19:32We've got many more than this that are on display.

0:19:32 > 0:19:35We've got hundreds of them that are just in the filing cabinet now.

0:19:35 > 0:19:38Each one means a lot to us. They're very important.

0:19:38 > 0:19:41So, even after more than quarter of a century,

0:19:41 > 0:19:43winning is just as important.

0:19:43 > 0:19:47But they need to enter the right wines first.

0:19:47 > 0:19:49So, which gold medal one would you like to try?

0:19:49 > 0:19:51I think I'd better try the brut first.

0:19:53 > 0:19:55- Thanks, Sam.- Look at that.

0:19:55 > 0:19:58- Excellent bubbles. - Yeah, beautiful bubbles.

0:19:58 > 0:20:00- Cheers, Dad.- Cheers, Sam.

0:20:00 > 0:20:05There's some really good up-and-coming producers in our area,

0:20:05 > 0:20:08so if you do well in comparison to them,

0:20:08 > 0:20:10actually it still means a lot,

0:20:10 > 0:20:13because there's some very good wines in the south-west now.

0:20:14 > 0:20:19Across Cornwall, Kim and John are also getting ready.

0:20:23 > 0:20:27OK, I'm going to try the Seyval Ortega from 2015.

0:20:30 > 0:20:34- That's beautiful. Really good. Well done.- Happy days.- Well done.

0:20:34 > 0:20:36They're two of the better wines we've made

0:20:36 > 0:20:38in the last couple of years.

0:20:39 > 0:20:43- I think that's delicious. - That's beautiful.- Cheers.

0:20:43 > 0:20:45If they want a shot at winning anything,

0:20:45 > 0:20:48they will need their finest wines to represent them.

0:20:51 > 0:20:54The day of the awards is almost here.

0:20:54 > 0:20:57Our farmers won't be present when the judges taste,

0:20:57 > 0:21:00but they will have to deliver the bottles to the door.

0:21:00 > 0:21:03In the last few years, there has been a huge amount of effort put in

0:21:03 > 0:21:05to raising the standards, hasn't there?

0:21:05 > 0:21:08- Mm.- So, they're judged by Masters of Wine.

0:21:08 > 0:21:13There's only 250, I think, Masters of Wine in the whole world.

0:21:13 > 0:21:15These competitions are blind tastings.

0:21:15 > 0:21:19No-one knows where the wine's from when they're tasting it.

0:21:19 > 0:21:21So, if you get a gold medal in a blind tasting,

0:21:21 > 0:21:23that really means something.

0:21:23 > 0:21:25If they are recognising your wine,

0:21:25 > 0:21:29it actually says there is a quality there, there is a standard.

0:21:29 > 0:21:30Yeah, absolutely.

0:21:39 > 0:21:42I get nervous. I probably get more nervous than you.

0:21:42 > 0:21:46But it is quite nice to get out and leave the farm.

0:21:46 > 0:21:48That doesn't happen very often, so...

0:21:48 > 0:21:52Probably our closest thing we'll have to a holiday this year.

0:21:55 > 0:21:57And off they go.

0:22:16 > 0:22:20The South West Vineyards Association was established in the 1970s

0:22:20 > 0:22:23to support the emerging wine growers of the region.

0:22:23 > 0:22:25Nearly half a century later,

0:22:25 > 0:22:29it has spread outwards from its original Devon borders.

0:22:32 > 0:22:36This year's awards are being held at the medieval Knightor Winery.

0:22:36 > 0:22:40They will be presented at a buffet lunch and ceremony tomorrow.

0:22:42 > 0:22:46The early morning south-west sea mist has rolled in,

0:22:46 > 0:22:49creating an atmospheric backdrop

0:22:49 > 0:22:51for today's all-important tasting session.

0:22:55 > 0:22:58It's like the Wild West out there. Such an incredibly new industry.

0:22:58 > 0:23:01It's just growing at a massive pace. It's incredibly exciting,

0:23:01 > 0:23:04but it's all very unconstructed, unformulated,

0:23:04 > 0:23:08so we're trying to get a structure round our industry to work.

0:23:08 > 0:23:09Cos it's gone from nothing

0:23:09 > 0:23:12to, soon it'll be about 20 million bottles a year, which is astounding.

0:23:12 > 0:23:14It's just such a huge amount.

0:23:14 > 0:23:16I guess, for us in the south-west, it's slightly different,

0:23:16 > 0:23:19because in the south-east, there are very big vineyards,

0:23:19 > 0:23:21people with a lot of money being invested, millions.

0:23:21 > 0:23:23There's hedge funders and all sorts.

0:23:23 > 0:23:25Whereas down here, we tend to be small family producers,

0:23:25 > 0:23:27people who are farming anyway,

0:23:27 > 0:23:32so we have this great diversity of products and of soils and of types.

0:23:35 > 0:23:37There are seven judges tasting today.

0:23:37 > 0:23:41They will spend the next seven hours dissecting all the wines

0:23:41 > 0:23:44entered into this year's competition.

0:23:45 > 0:23:47I've been chairing

0:23:47 > 0:23:50the South West Vineyards competition

0:23:50 > 0:23:53for four, possibly five years.

0:23:53 > 0:23:56It's going to be tricky because we've got a lot of wines.

0:23:56 > 0:24:02In the end, I think each of us will judge about 113.

0:24:05 > 0:24:07I think, in general,

0:24:07 > 0:24:12we've had significantly more samples submitted.

0:24:12 > 0:24:15Last year, we had 141.

0:24:15 > 0:24:18The year before that, it was about 120.

0:24:18 > 0:24:22And this year, we had 155 wines entered in the competition.

0:24:22 > 0:24:24The first one of these I came to, it was only seven years ago,

0:24:24 > 0:24:27and even then, there were some wines that were a bit faulty,

0:24:27 > 0:24:29some wines which weren't very clean.

0:24:29 > 0:24:33But now they're all brilliantly made, really delicious,

0:24:33 > 0:24:35and there's this massive diversity.

0:24:35 > 0:24:37Really interesting still wines, sweet wines, red wines,

0:24:37 > 0:24:40and I have to say sparkling, cos that's what I grow, so...

0:24:40 > 0:24:44But even with the industry on the rise,

0:24:44 > 0:24:48medals and trophies are not necessarily guaranteed.

0:24:48 > 0:24:52If none of the wines in the class do not achieve a silver,

0:24:52 > 0:24:57we may take a decision not to award that particular trophy this year.

0:24:59 > 0:25:03Blind tastings mean all the entries are disguised,

0:25:03 > 0:25:05with no visible labels.

0:25:05 > 0:25:09With everything ready and so many wines to get through,

0:25:09 > 0:25:10there's no time to waste.

0:25:10 > 0:25:14Right, we're done with the briefing. Off we go.

0:25:18 > 0:25:23Patricia is a Master of Wine and part of her job is to ensure

0:25:23 > 0:25:27that tasting wine for adjudication sticks to judging conventions.

0:25:30 > 0:25:32The wine tasting process is the same

0:25:32 > 0:25:35whether it's still or whether it's sparkling wine.

0:25:38 > 0:25:43We start out by looking at it, so you see the wine.

0:25:44 > 0:25:48After that, you sip. Not a big sip.

0:25:50 > 0:25:52HE SLURPS

0:25:52 > 0:25:56You curl or hold some of that wine in your tongue.

0:25:58 > 0:26:01And you then open your mouth a bit and you breathe across it

0:26:01 > 0:26:04to release those flavours in your mouth.

0:26:04 > 0:26:07And then, at least for professionals, we spit.

0:26:12 > 0:26:15And that's because you can't taste 155 wines in a day.

0:26:15 > 0:26:18If you swallowed each of them, even a small sip,

0:26:18 > 0:26:21you might make it to 20.

0:26:21 > 0:26:25But that's where you get the finish,

0:26:25 > 0:26:30the flavours and the texture and how long do the flavours last,

0:26:30 > 0:26:33and you find that after you spit it out.

0:26:34 > 0:26:36So, sight, sip...

0:26:36 > 0:26:39- slurp... - HE SLURPS

0:26:39 > 0:26:40..spit.

0:26:43 > 0:26:45Once the judges get down to comparing notes,

0:26:45 > 0:26:48personal preference should have no bearing,

0:26:48 > 0:26:51as they each offer up a score.

0:26:51 > 0:26:55- 16.5.- 16.- 16.

0:26:56 > 0:26:58Why we have a team of judges

0:26:58 > 0:27:03is so that not one person is picking their favourite wine

0:27:03 > 0:27:05or what they think is the best wine.

0:27:05 > 0:27:09Just as well, as they're at loggerheads already.

0:27:09 > 0:27:11- 408.- 13.

0:27:11 > 0:27:13SHE LAUGHS

0:27:13 > 0:27:15- 19.- 10.

0:27:15 > 0:27:18- THEY LAUGH - Oh, yeah, I heard you.

0:27:18 > 0:27:20We're getting a view of an entire panel.

0:27:20 > 0:27:25But what it does is it gives a broad perspective

0:27:25 > 0:27:27on any particular wine

0:27:27 > 0:27:32and I hope that it's meant we've gotten fair and correct results

0:27:32 > 0:27:34for all of our producers.

0:27:38 > 0:27:41To place and do well at the South West Vineyard competition

0:27:41 > 0:27:43is an amazing thing for producers.

0:27:43 > 0:27:48A little sticker on the label that says "Gold", "Silver", "Bronze",

0:27:48 > 0:27:53or even "Commended", means that the people who come to visit them

0:27:53 > 0:27:56will say, "Ooh, there are professionals

0:27:56 > 0:27:58"who really like these wines.

0:27:58 > 0:28:01"We'd better buy some, or at least try it before we buy it."

0:28:03 > 0:28:05It's an advertisement for the producers.

0:28:05 > 0:28:08Though these awards look homewards,

0:28:08 > 0:28:12some of the producers entered today already have broader ambitions.

0:28:12 > 0:28:15In terms of competitions, it's interesting,

0:28:15 > 0:28:18because we now win medals in international competitions.

0:28:18 > 0:28:20And so, it doesn't just make people in England sit up,

0:28:20 > 0:28:23it makes people in France, in particular, sit up.

0:28:26 > 0:28:30The reputation of champagne is unrivalled.

0:28:30 > 0:28:36Champagne, you know, has had years and years of marketing behind it.

0:28:36 > 0:28:38However, it's little known that,

0:28:38 > 0:28:40without the help of some English know-how,

0:28:40 > 0:28:44the French bubbles wouldn't have made it this far.

0:28:44 > 0:28:47It was an Englishman who developed the bottle

0:28:47 > 0:28:50that's able to withstand the secondary fermentation process,

0:28:50 > 0:28:54which is where the bubbles basically create this kind of explosive force.

0:28:54 > 0:28:57And this was 50 years before Dom Perignon.

0:28:57 > 0:28:59It was a gentleman called Christopher Merret

0:28:59 > 0:29:00who actually identified

0:29:00 > 0:29:03that we needed to have a much stronger bottle

0:29:03 > 0:29:06because, prior to that, bottles would just explode in cellars.

0:29:06 > 0:29:10These days, it's English sparkling wine that's turning heads.

0:29:10 > 0:29:13Through this wave of the rise in sparkling wine consumption

0:29:13 > 0:29:17comes the opportunity for English sparkling wine and English wine

0:29:17 > 0:29:20to take centre stage, which I think is happening more and more.

0:29:23 > 0:29:26The rising success of English bubbly has attracted

0:29:26 > 0:29:30some cross-Channel interest from our French cousins.

0:29:30 > 0:29:32Because we have a very similar climate

0:29:32 > 0:29:34to what Champagne had in the 1960s,

0:29:34 > 0:29:37we're able to now beat champagnes in international competitions

0:29:37 > 0:29:41because of that beautiful balance of acidity and fruit.

0:29:41 > 0:29:43We saw, earlier this year,

0:29:43 > 0:29:46that English sparkling wine beat a lot of French champagnes

0:29:46 > 0:29:51in a blind tasting competition held here in London

0:29:51 > 0:29:56and that goes hand in hand with the investment that we've seen

0:29:56 > 0:29:59from the champagne houses, coming over to England -

0:29:59 > 0:30:02Taittinger in Kent, um, and Pommery

0:30:02 > 0:30:07and I think there are a few others rumoured for the future.

0:30:15 > 0:30:19Across Cornwall and the south-west, dozens of winemakers,

0:30:19 > 0:30:22from Gloucester to the Isles of Scilly,

0:30:22 > 0:30:24are making their way to the annual awards ceremony.

0:30:27 > 0:30:30For the former fish merchants and ex-fighter pilot,

0:30:30 > 0:30:34all they can do now is wait to see how their hard work has paid off.

0:30:35 > 0:30:40Will their choices stand out in this young but very competitive industry?

0:30:40 > 0:30:43THEY GREET EACH OTHER

0:30:48 > 0:30:50The two families know each other,

0:30:50 > 0:30:54but it's a rare chance to be able to leave the farm and catch up.

0:30:56 > 0:31:00It's nice to see the other local guys here, like Polgoon,

0:31:00 > 0:31:03because they understand the life we lead

0:31:03 > 0:31:06and what we do from day to day and there's not many of us around.

0:31:06 > 0:31:08- They're nice people. - And they work very hard

0:31:08 > 0:31:10and, like us, they're a family business,

0:31:10 > 0:31:12their children are working in their business,

0:31:12 > 0:31:15and that's nice to see, so there's continuity there. It's good.

0:31:15 > 0:31:18Definitely, but we must come down and see your new place.

0:31:18 > 0:31:20We toyed with it...

0:31:20 > 0:31:26First on the agenda for the day is a bit of judging of their own.

0:31:26 > 0:31:29The association has set out all the entered wines,

0:31:29 > 0:31:32giving everyone the chance to taste the competition.

0:31:36 > 0:31:38What's that one?

0:31:38 > 0:31:40- Did you try this one, Ben?- Mm-hmm.

0:31:42 > 0:31:45- Mm.- That's really nice, actually. It's lovely, isn't it?

0:31:45 > 0:31:48Every time I judge English wine,

0:31:48 > 0:31:51the level goes up. The level goes up

0:31:51 > 0:31:54and I think they're really going out of their way

0:31:54 > 0:31:56to make really, really good wine.

0:31:56 > 0:31:58The growing techniques have improved,

0:31:58 > 0:32:02they've now got the right varieties, by and large, in the right place,

0:32:02 > 0:32:05and all these things are now coming through

0:32:05 > 0:32:07and there's a really, really great range of wines

0:32:07 > 0:32:10coming through and it's great. We should be proud of it.

0:32:10 > 0:32:11Very good.

0:32:13 > 0:32:15The quality and improvements on show

0:32:15 > 0:32:19have not gone unnoticed by experienced Annie.

0:32:19 > 0:32:21Walking in today and seeing the array

0:32:21 > 0:32:24of beautifully presented wines, all with lovely labels on,

0:32:24 > 0:32:27I think ten years ago,

0:32:27 > 0:32:31some of the livery was not quite so beautiful as it is now.

0:32:31 > 0:32:35So, I think it shows that there's rising standards all the time

0:32:35 > 0:32:38in the English wine industry, certainly in the south-west,

0:32:38 > 0:32:41and it will be interesting to see if what's inside the bottles

0:32:41 > 0:32:44matches up with the lovely livery outside.

0:32:44 > 0:32:46INDTINGUISHABLE BACKGROUND CHAT

0:32:46 > 0:32:49But it's the wine that's impressed judge Patricia

0:32:49 > 0:32:52and it's one of Annie's bottles of bubbly

0:32:52 > 0:32:55that's captivated her palate in particular.

0:32:55 > 0:32:59- It's sort of a pale yellow... - Lime, almost.- Lime.

0:32:59 > 0:33:04- But even more relevantly, it smells great.- Yeah.

0:33:04 > 0:33:06Approval confirmed.

0:33:06 > 0:33:09Might be a medal in the bag already for Sam, Bob and Annie.

0:33:12 > 0:33:15- GLASS SMASHES - Ooh!

0:33:15 > 0:33:17And with that, the tasting is over.

0:33:22 > 0:33:25But before the awards, time for a rustic lunch.

0:33:25 > 0:33:27Like the wine on show today,

0:33:27 > 0:33:32most of the food has been created from locally farmed ingredients.

0:33:33 > 0:33:35As the ceremony draws closer,

0:33:35 > 0:33:38so, too, do the pre-announcement jitters.

0:33:41 > 0:33:45- Yeah, it's quite a high-quality competition, isn't it?- Yeah.

0:33:45 > 0:33:46So, it is a difficult one.

0:33:48 > 0:33:50So, I guess I'm a bit apprehensive because of that

0:33:50 > 0:33:52cos I know the other vineyards we're up against,

0:33:52 > 0:33:55I know how good the quality is.

0:33:55 > 0:33:59However many times you come, whatever the competition is,

0:33:59 > 0:34:02I think you always have a bit of a moment, ooh...

0:34:05 > 0:34:06Win, lose or draw,

0:34:06 > 0:34:09- we'll probably still have a bottle tonight when we get home.- Yeah.

0:34:14 > 0:34:17And now the bit you've all been waiting for.

0:34:18 > 0:34:21It's finally time for this year's awards.

0:34:21 > 0:34:24It's going to be quite interesting presenting the trophies

0:34:24 > 0:34:26because I've never won one, so I'm never quite sure

0:34:26 > 0:34:29which one's which, but I'm sure I'll get some guidance on that.

0:34:29 > 0:34:31And I don't even know which one is which,

0:34:31 > 0:34:33so someone else will have to pick them up.

0:34:33 > 0:34:38The first wines up are in the Bacchus grape category.

0:34:38 > 0:34:41This grape was developed in Germany in 1933

0:34:41 > 0:34:44and produces a wine with a powerful flavour.

0:34:46 > 0:34:51Bob, Annie and Sam have never won a medal for their Bacchus wine before.

0:34:51 > 0:34:56It has a gentle greengage flavour, with tropical citrus notes.

0:34:57 > 0:35:00The Darnibole Bacchus is a really good wine

0:35:00 > 0:35:02and it's a unique wine

0:35:02 > 0:35:06and it'll be interesting to know whether it stood out as a good wine

0:35:06 > 0:35:08or whether it blended in with other wines

0:35:08 > 0:35:12because there are other wines that were very similar in character.

0:35:12 > 0:35:16You just don't know, really, what's going to happen.

0:35:16 > 0:35:18So, the first class is Class 1A,

0:35:18 > 0:35:20which is wines made from the Bacchus grape.

0:35:20 > 0:35:24Silver medals go to Lily Farm 2015 Bacchus.

0:35:26 > 0:35:27Gold medals go to...

0:35:29 > 0:35:32..Camel Valley, 2015 Camel Valley Bacchus,

0:35:32 > 0:35:35and Sharpham Vineyard 2014 Bacchus.

0:35:35 > 0:35:38It's a great start for Sam, Bob and Annie.

0:35:38 > 0:35:40A gold medal in the bag already.

0:35:40 > 0:35:43Can you enter less wines next year? This takes ages.

0:35:43 > 0:35:44LAUGHTER

0:35:44 > 0:35:48Next up is the still rose category.

0:35:50 > 0:35:54And Kim and John are in the running with their Pinot Noir.

0:35:54 > 0:35:57It's a medium-dry rose with a vibrant pink colour,

0:35:57 > 0:36:01strawberries on the nose and a palate of summer fruits.

0:36:03 > 0:36:062015 vintage on our rose that we've entered.

0:36:06 > 0:36:10I've got high hopes for the rose. I do have every year though.

0:36:10 > 0:36:13We were very fortunate with our very first ever bottle of rose,

0:36:13 > 0:36:16to win the trophy for the Best Rose in the UK.

0:36:16 > 0:36:19It's something you do really well. You do make a really good rose.

0:36:19 > 0:36:23- Yeah, like a one-trick pony.- Let's hope you've done the same this time.

0:36:24 > 0:36:29Rose. Bronze medals go to Lyme Bay Winery 2015 Pinot Noir Rose.

0:36:31 > 0:36:35Silver medals go to Three Choirs Vineyard, Three Choirs Rose...

0:36:37 > 0:36:40..and Polgoon Vineyard Rondo-Pinot Noir Rose.

0:36:42 > 0:36:45Congratulations to them.

0:36:45 > 0:36:48A silver medal for John and Kim and their artisan vineyard

0:36:48 > 0:36:50is no mean feat.

0:36:50 > 0:36:52APPLAUSE

0:36:52 > 0:36:55Both families have had a great start.

0:36:57 > 0:37:00Next up are the sparkling wine awards.

0:37:01 > 0:37:04And it's a class that they both covered.

0:37:06 > 0:37:10So, the Annie's Anniversary is in the white sparkling category.

0:37:10 > 0:37:11It's made from our oldest vines,

0:37:11 > 0:37:14from a block of vines that only Annie has pruned,

0:37:14 > 0:37:16so we've always got high hopes for this wine,

0:37:16 > 0:37:19because it's such a special wine to us.

0:37:19 > 0:37:22'I would hope we'd manage a medal of some kind, yeah.

0:37:22 > 0:37:24'That would be nice.'

0:37:24 > 0:37:28We'd feel happy on the way home, if that was the case.

0:37:28 > 0:37:31But it's down to what the judges think and, on this occasion,

0:37:31 > 0:37:35will their bubbly fall flat or will it sparkle?

0:37:35 > 0:37:37Sparkling wine. As you can imagine, there's a few of these.

0:37:39 > 0:37:41Silver medals go to...

0:37:43 > 0:37:48..Polgoon Vineyard 2014 Seyval Blanc Brut. Congratulations to them.

0:37:48 > 0:37:51APPLAUSE

0:37:52 > 0:37:54With the silvers given out,

0:37:54 > 0:37:57Sam's specially made sparkling wine for his mother Annie

0:37:57 > 0:38:01will have to be good enough for gold or nothing at all.

0:38:03 > 0:38:04Gold medals...

0:38:06 > 0:38:09..go to Camel Valley 2013 Annie's Anniversary.

0:38:13 > 0:38:16It's a triumph for the grapes grown by Annie's own hand,

0:38:16 > 0:38:19as Sam's wine takes the top award.

0:38:19 > 0:38:23APPLAUSE

0:38:23 > 0:38:27And finally, the one you've all been waiting for - sparkling rose.

0:38:27 > 0:38:30Just one last category to go - the sparkling rose.

0:38:30 > 0:38:33And a chance for Sam, Bob and Annie

0:38:33 > 0:38:35to add to today's incredible prize haul.

0:38:38 > 0:38:41Yeah, we've normally got high hopes for our rose sparkling

0:38:41 > 0:38:44because we make it in a different way to everyone else

0:38:44 > 0:38:48and I really think it brings out the best of the grapes.

0:38:48 > 0:38:51We crush the grapes, which you're not allowed to do in champagne.

0:38:51 > 0:38:54This is how we get the pink colour, how we get the extra fruit character

0:38:54 > 0:38:58in the wine, and a lot of people are just too scared to do that.

0:38:58 > 0:39:00They just want to stick to the champagne way

0:39:00 > 0:39:04of making a separate red wine, so it's interesting. I wonder...

0:39:04 > 0:39:06At some point, people will catch on.

0:39:06 > 0:39:08Gold medals go to...

0:39:10 > 0:39:13..Camel Valley 2014 Cuvee Raymond Blanc

0:39:13 > 0:39:16and Camel Valley 2013 Pinot Noir Rose Brut.

0:39:16 > 0:39:18And that's the medals.

0:39:18 > 0:39:22It's a double jackpot, as both bottles take the highest honour.

0:39:22 > 0:39:24APPLAUSE

0:39:34 > 0:39:38The medals have been handed out and now it's time for the trophies.

0:39:38 > 0:39:42Only the vineyards who have won a gold medal qualify

0:39:42 > 0:39:44for one of these final accolades.

0:39:46 > 0:39:49So, the Challenge Cup for Best Oak Dry White Wine

0:39:49 > 0:39:51is Trevibban Mill 2014 Constantine.

0:39:51 > 0:39:54APPLAUSE

0:39:54 > 0:39:59- Oh, well, there you go. You have to hold it, darling.- Ooh.

0:39:59 > 0:40:01APPLAUSE

0:40:01 > 0:40:04- Great job, Duncan. - Cheers, thank you.

0:40:04 > 0:40:07APPLAUSE

0:40:07 > 0:40:10- No, it was delicious. - It was a great wine.

0:40:10 > 0:40:12Really good wine, really good wine.

0:40:12 > 0:40:15There's just one piece of silverware to go,

0:40:15 > 0:40:18a last chance to shine at this year's competition.

0:40:21 > 0:40:23It's the prestigious Chairman's Cup

0:40:23 > 0:40:26for the Best Sparkling Rose Wine in the South-west.

0:40:30 > 0:40:33The Chairman's Cup Best Sparkling Rose Wine

0:40:33 > 0:40:35Commercial Producer 2013

0:40:35 > 0:40:39goes to Camel Valley Pinot Noir Rose Brut.

0:40:39 > 0:40:42APPLAUSE

0:40:46 > 0:40:47Thank you very much.

0:40:47 > 0:40:51- It was very good, darling. - Thank you.

0:40:51 > 0:40:54- Glad you enjoyed it. - LAUGHTER

0:40:54 > 0:40:57The sweet taste of victory for Sam and his family.

0:40:57 > 0:41:00And for the vice-chairman, Guy Smith,

0:41:00 > 0:41:03it's a well-deserved accolade for a worthy vineyard.

0:41:03 > 0:41:06So, the Lindos and Camel Valley are a very interesting case

0:41:06 > 0:41:07because they are one of the pioneers.

0:41:07 > 0:41:10They were one of the first people to plant

0:41:10 > 0:41:12and certainly one of the first people to plant in Cornwall.

0:41:12 > 0:41:15And you have to admire them because it's just pure blood, sweat, tears,

0:41:15 > 0:41:19365 days a year, and dedicating everything to it.

0:41:19 > 0:41:21And in some ways, it's a lesson to all of us.

0:41:21 > 0:41:24I think one of the indications of the success of a vineyard

0:41:24 > 0:41:26is the fact that someone else wants to take it on.

0:41:26 > 0:41:28It's not just pulled up when you've finished with it.

0:41:28 > 0:41:30It's actually something which will be there long-term.

0:41:38 > 0:41:41Four gold medals and a trophy and a silver as well

0:41:41 > 0:41:45- is just fantastic, really.- It is. Really good news.- I couldn't...

0:41:45 > 0:41:47I didn't really dare hope to have done that well.

0:41:47 > 0:41:51Yeah, I'm proud to see how it's grown but I'm even prouder of him.

0:41:54 > 0:41:57For John and Kim, who have fought back from the brink of closure,

0:41:57 > 0:42:00today has also been a day of achievement

0:42:00 > 0:42:02they can really be proud of.

0:42:02 > 0:42:06Yeah, it's been a great day. Two wines, two silvers.

0:42:06 > 0:42:07Fantastic. Couldn't really ask

0:42:07 > 0:42:10for a much bedder...better day than that.

0:42:10 > 0:42:11THEY LAUGH

0:42:12 > 0:42:15I wouldn't be surprised if we don't open two,

0:42:15 > 0:42:17or maybe even three bottles tonight.

0:42:17 > 0:42:18THEY LAUGH
