Since becoming what is known as an Ex-pat, living outside the UK, I think I have probably become more patriotic than ever. So much so that I even bought an England t-shirt for the last World Cup (even though we did so badly that it was very quickly converted into a cleaning cloth)!

A few years ago we were delighted when one of our wines was selected to be served on British Airways (flying the flag, to use an obvious pun), but now I think we can go one better… Our latest customer has a British Flag of some 308 feet or 94 metres long – the longest Union Flag anywhere in the world. We are now being poured on the brand new cruise ship ‘Britannia’, officially launched by H.M. Queen Elizabeth II in March of 2015. It’s quite an impressive little boat, measuring some 1,082 ft long (longer than the height of the Eiffel Tower), and weighing in at 141,000 tons – it can accommodate more than 3,600 passengers on 15 decks in 1,837 cabins. The ship has 13 restaurants where they will be serving our very own, humble albariño, and also boasts it’s own cookery school and wine tasting courses for passengers.

We are thrilled to be on board, flying the flag for Castro Martin across the world.Since becoming what is known as an Ex-pat, living outside the UK, I think I have probably become more patriotic than ever.
