It is not all good news from the bowels of the EU however. As Decanter reports restrictive and severe regulations on alcohol levels could ban English wine from being sold as table wine.

Decanter.com
"The regulations make it compulsory for all chaptalised wines with alcohol levels above 11.5% for white, and 12% for red, to go through the Quality Wine Scheme. If a wine misses Quality status, it cannot then be sold as a table wine.

'These restrictions are ridiculous,' said Julian Brind MW, at the presentation ceremony at the Houses of Parliament last Friday. 'They mean that many wines end up insipid and light; producers should be able to push the alcohol if they need to, in order to achieve the right balance."
