“English wine crop ruined,” reads headline. Late frosts have caused devastation at British vineyards, warn wine producers .

Temperatures dropped to -6C (21F) over the past week or so, killing off the delicate buds.

As a result, makers of fine English sparkling wines fear crop yields will collapse by as much as 80 per cent.

As much as 80 percent losses!
