Read with interest the front page of The South London News. "Chateauneuf du Peckham". Some bloke had managed to make wine from the the old vine that ran up the side of his house. There's a picture of him standing proudly next to it. I wouldn't be one of the poor souls who receives a bottle of the stuff for Christmas. Still it shows it can be done and it got me thinking. Maybe if I bought a vine or two from a garden centre and planted them in my back garden I could do the same.
