Stewart Wilde, a Sheffielder by birth, practised as an award-winning architect in the North of England and the London area for over 30 years before leaving the profession to concentrate on his interest in wine. Starting out in an off-licence and developing his knowledge through experience and examination he has now become increasingly, and especially, interested in the blossoming English and Welsh wine industry. He has travelled widely in Western Europe, South America and New Zealand and has seen the emergence of ‘at vineyard’ hospitality in all these regions. He now concentrates on passing on that interest through talks, visits and this book. He lives, with his wife Gill, in South-West London. This is his second book on English and Welsh vineyards and their wines. His first book Sparkling Wine was published in 2019.
