Chalk runs through the North and South Downs, alongside greensand, Wealden soils and London clay. Warm, dry, sunny conditions suit cool-climate grapes.
- 05Thames & ChilternNo producers listed yetAcross Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and West London, Thames & Chiltern brings chalk hills and river valleys together with Thames Valley gravel and flint. Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier lead the sparkling wines, while Bacchus produces fruity, floral still wines alongside local white, rosé and red.
- 06WalesNo producers listed yetWelsh vineyards are spread across the country, with Monmouthshire and Carmarthenshire leading in plantings. The cool climate has long suited Solaris and Seyval Blanc, while Chardonnay and Pinot varieties are also grown. Wines include still and traditional-method sparkling styles, alongside pet-nat, col fondo, orange wine and Port-like fortified wine.
- 07WessexNo producers listed yetWessex spans Hampshire's chalk, Wiltshire's valleys, Dorset's Jurassic Coast terrain and the Isle of Wight's microclimate. Traditional-method sparkling wine leads production, while Bacchus and other still-wine varieties, along with trials of Tempranillo and Viognier, add to the region's range.
- 08West CountryNo producers listed yetThe West Country is WineGB West's practical wine identity for the West of England. Its more than 90 vineyards make still and sparkling wines. The association began in 1967 as the South West Vineyards Association and used that name until 2017.
