It goes on to report:Vineyard owners are keeping their fingers crossed for a bumper crop in the county this year following forecasts of a hot summer.
Wet summers in the past two years have seen some vineyards producing only a quarter of their best crop – or less.
Now, owners say the recent hot spells mixed with wet weather have produced excellent growing conditions.
David Bates, who has run Welland Valley Vineyard, at Marston Trussell, near Market Harborough, for 20 years, said: "The portents are there for a good crop, but you never count your chickens."Welland Valley Vineyard has its own website, but I can't see where the chickens come into it.
