  Popular in Victorian days when specialist greenhouses for grapes were known as vineries, the vine is now increasing in popularity again amongst amateur gardeners. Despite the inclement British weather, it is possible to grow grapes here successfully - even out of doors. A sun loving plant, the vine can be grown in the open in the southern part of the British Isles. Elsewhere, in areas of high summer rainfall, strong winds, or where the climate is cool during the growing season, vines should be cultivated under glass - the ideal structure for grapes being a lean-to greenhouse facing south. This new edition of the popular Wisley Handbook, now with full colour throughout and in the new Wisley format, covers all aspects of viticulture for the amateur gardener.
