The week in pictures

We are sorry to report that Guy Howard, owner of Giffords Hall Vineyard in Suffolk, died last week, following a short illness.

Howard served on the Board of WineGB as one of its founding Directors representing the small/medium producers. He had also been chairman of East Anglian Vineyards Association and a member of its committee over a number of years.

WineGB’s Chairman, Simon Robinson, said he was “a delightful man and one of the real stalwarts of the English wine industry, particularly in East Anglia, where for many years he chaired the local vineyard association. As well as developing his own very successful vineyard business he was a fount of wisdom and common sense.

“Sadly I only really got to know Guy through WineGB where his contributions to board discussions were always well considered, wise and helpful. Guy gave a lot of his time, skill and experience to fellow vineyard owners and winemakers in the English wine community and will be greatly missed. Our condolences go out to Linda and his family at this difficult time.”
