    Where possible I'd like my money to stay in the UK, not line the pockets of non-UK workers.
    I'm a white wine kind of gal & there are some wondeful English white wines out there. Normally I opt for an NZ sauvignon blanc but as there are so many vineyards local to me I'm buying much more home produced wine.

    In fact, I'm really looking forward to going to this on June 21:

    MIDSUMMER WINE FESTIVAL


    Join Avon Valley Railway for a fascinating tasting of delicious English wines!

    The English Mid-Summer Wine Tasting will see one of the largest collections of English Wine ever put before a public audience to taste and enjoy.

    This will be a superb opportunity to expand your knowledge and appreciation of English wines, over a delicious three-hour tasting of fine English wines from some of the very best vineyards in England.

      If the Europeans stops buying British goods that reduces British exports by 50%

      It doesn't need to be like that.
      If you buy British products you are helping the local economy and creating more jobs.

        Russians did the same. Remember ruble tumble? they had to increase interest rates to 17% over night

              It's amazing the whole world has hit on this great new idea of buying their own goods and not trading with anyone else.

              Britain leads the way.

              (And Trump).

                Exactly, Portugal had this campaign many years ago. We realise that some of the products from the others countries from the EU are a compleat CRAP and at the same time destroying our local economy, with this, we also increased our exportation.

                  Whenever in Wales I try to buy Welsh wherever possible. The Supermarkets try to help the local suppliers too which is nice.

                  When going to NLyUK and asking for a sheep, I always request it is Welsh....

                    Portugal is vastly underrated in almost every respect.

                    Great wine, Cheese, Ham.....etc

                    and great people to boot (you excepted Bee )
