It's a popular aspiration among wine devotees to buy a little vinery and dedicate their lives to making wine. Notions of sunny days spent looking after the vines and then retiring to a terrace in the evenings to taste the resulting wine are surely tempting, but probably unlikely to be realistic.

Wine devotees can now live the dream at least a little bit, by adopting a vine at one of the UK's leading vineries. After you've adopted the vine, you'll receive a certificate letting you know exactly which vine plant you've taken on, plus a good amount of information on the history of the vineyard and the bottles it makes.

You'll also receive a free tour of the vineyard, as well as a discount on anything you buy during your tour.

For most of us, owning a vineyard and making wine will always be a dream, but this neat idea of adopting a vine will make a brilliant gift for anyone with a desire to be involved in how their wine is produced.
