The wine region of Wales
Wine region of Wales (PDO Welsh Wine, 50+ vineyards, latitude >49. 9°N), cool oceanic climate tempered by the Gulf Stream, clay soils (Vale of Glamorgan leads in the south).

The word of the wine: Oenologist
Specialist in wine-making techniques. It is a profession and not a passion: one can be an oenophile without being an oenologist (and the opposite too!). Formerly attached to the Faculty of Pharmacy, oenology studies have become independent and have their own university course. Learning to make wine requires a good chemical background but also, increasingly, a good knowledge of the plant. Some oenologists work in laboratories (analysis). Others, the consulting oenologists, work directly in the properties.
