Believe it or not, but Tooting is a hotspot for urban winemaking.
The Furzedown based Urban Wine Company yesterday celebrated the official uncorking of its 2009 rosé. The guests included many of the members of Urban Wine Company who supplied the grapes that went into the wine.
Common People went along to sample the wine (a little tart at first but slips down nicely on the second glass) and to meet some of the growers. Many of them are based in the Tooting and Furzedown area, which are blessed with a lot of old vines. Who knows, you may have one in your own garden!
