Adgestone Vineyard was established in 1968 with vines that are still today, making them the oldest commercial vines and the UK's oldest continuously operating vineyard. The vineyard is a little tourist attraction open to the public in the summer for wine tasting and that sort of thing and they have a little shop selling local goods. One of their most popular products is 'Something Blue', their blue wine which is particularly popular at weddings.

Recently they have expanded into liqueurs and the Arson Fire range of hot chilli sauces, as this vehicle can attest.

(Their blue wine is indeed blue – here's a photo of some I had last year. Their advertising says, 'The blue colour comes from the skins of the grapes and the Isle of Wight's clear waters and Mediterranean-like climate', which I think is their way of saying that the Mediterranean has a vaguely Isle of Wight-like climate, if you don't look too closely.)
