There is a clear technical distinction between British wine, which is made from imported grape concentrate and fermented and bottled in the UK, and English and Welsh wine that is grown in a defined region.

British wine is commonly medium or sweet, either still or fortified, and sells for between £3.50 and £6.00 a bottle – considerably cheaper than English wine.

But having drunk a bunch of it at home, I'm a solid convert.
