The Buyer | How Sussexs Artelium is helping to drive English site-led winemaking

English wine may still account for less than 1% of total UK consumption, but its trajectory is firmly premium and estates like Artelium are helping define what that actually means. Set in the Sussex countryside, Artelium is part of a new wave of producers building from scratch, combining site-led winemaking with a broader cultural and hospitality offer. As the category shifts from proving quality to defining identity, co-founders Julie Bretland and Mark Collins are focused not just on making world-class wines, but on shaping how and where English wine earns its place, both on UK wine lists and on the global stage.
