正文(英文) | British wine and cheese industries report bumper decade of growth ![]() Ayrshire Dunlop dairy As the UK tucks into cheese platters and pops bottles of bubbles this New Year’s Eve, the UK cheese and wine industries are celebrating a decade of growth and innovation. Both have grown from strength to strength, with the UK cheese export market now worth £675 million and 130% more English and Welsh wine produced in 2018 compared to 2017. Over the past decade, English and Welsh wine has become one of the UK’s fastest growing agricultural sectors, with hectarage planted in Britain growing by 194% in the last ten years. The industry has also raked in the accolades, with English Sparkling Wine producer Nyetimber winning the 2018 International Wine Challenge (IWC) trophy for Sparkling Winemaker of the Year – the first time the award has been granted to both a woman and a winemaker outside of the Champagne region. With Wines of Great Britain (WineGB) predicting UK wine production will reach around 40 million bottles by 2040 – and with famed French Champagne houses Taittinger and Pommery buying land in England’s south – the future continues to look bright for this burgeoning industry. Cheese production in the UK increased steadily by 7% since 2015, with 465,000 tonnes of British cheese produced in 2018 alone. Whilst British Stilton, Caerphilly, and Wensleydale continue to be some of the UK’s most popular cheeses, cheddar reigns supreme as one of the UK’s top exports. In the US, UK cheese imports are worth £50 million, with 90% of UK dairy exports to the US being cheese. In China, demand for UK cheese is growing by 20% each year. Environment Secretary Theresa Villiers said:
International Trade Secretary Liz Truss said:
Chairman of Wines of Great Britain (WineGB), Simon Robinson, said:
The Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB) reports that the increase in popularity of UK cheese is due to a growing demand for more natural and authentic dairy products. As home to the International Cheese and Dairy Awards, the UK’s cheese continues to win gold with Belton Farm, a family-owned cheese manufacturer based in Shropshire, dubbed the ‘Supreme Champion’ at the 2018 International Cheese and Dairy Awards. Over the past year, total exports of UK food and drink reached a record £22.5 billion. As part of the ongoing Food is GREAT campaign, government and British industry are aiming to boost British trade in food and drink exports to £23 billion over 2020, and will continue to work with exporters to help them tap into new markets.
