Urban Wine blog

We are soon to add a merchandise section to the website. Please contact us if you want to place an order for an original Urban Wine t-shirt.

Hello all! We will be selling our wine and vines  before Christmas this year and so please contact us if you want to be added to the UWC mailing list. It’s lovely that the sun’s out again and the grapes on my vine are looking great for the harvest. 

I want to create a scene from ‘Wacky Racers’ or ‘It’s a Mad, Mad World’  on the way down to Sussex and so anyone with an interesting vehicle who wants to take part in the  grape run, please contact me. You will then be part of the great grape magical mystery tour film we are making at moment. Also any musicians (no musos!) who want to collaborate with me on the film score please  get in contact.  It’s a great life!

Have just purchased a hydrometer that measures the sugar content in grapes to check their suitability for wine production. I am looking forward to testing out this crazy apparatus in all its glory within London gardens. Might wear tweed and recreate a scene from the Time Machine.

Thanks for all the recent comments and all your support in relation to the Urban Wine Company (UWC). As soon as I have got my head around the technology, I will publish the comments. Please bear with me and keep them coming in!

Have decided to make a film with my mates Amy and Flem on the wine making adventure over the next 12 months. Should be fun!

Cycling back from Herne Hill, I stopped off at Brockwell Park community gardens to talk about vines and community gardening with Fabrice one of the garden volunteers. It’s a beautiful place and hidden amongst its walls is a huge selection of fruit and vegetables. I think it’s remarkable that places like this are all over London. The view from the top of  the hill in the park  is also beautiful, taking in the London Eye and the Gherkin. Pretty apt really. Their greenhouse has a great big vine within it and it’s great that they are cultivating vines at the commuity gardens.
