There are quite a few good (even VERY good) English wines, mainly sparkling. Try RidgeView Estate 2006/7 Bloomsbury, Chapel Down NV and Nyetimber 2003 Classic Cuvee. Bacchus is the best of the still wine grape varieties and Chapel Down's probbaly the best widely available. For more details see www.englishwineproducers.com and look for the medal winners. As for prices, please compare them to other cool climate areas (Chablis, Sancerre, Mosel etc) when making comparisons.
