Recent summers have been good for English wines, says JAMIE GOODE. And while English sparkling wines can be expensive, they can also be favourably priced compared to the best from France.
The two English sparklers he recommends are 2003 Ridgeview Bloomsbury Cuve Merret (18.99; Waitrose) and 1999 Nyetimber Premire Cuve (21.99; Waitrose).
