Shares in England’s largest wine maker Chapel Down plunged again today after the company warned that it will make a loss this year following heavy rain during the harvest season.
The Tenterden, Kent based business - best known for its multi-award winning sparkling wine served at the wedding of the Prince and Princess of Wales - said that the near complete 2024 harvest is estimated at 1,875 tonnes, less than half last year’s record and the smallest since 2021.
