The English wine industry did not disappear, however, 28 the sixteenth century, when the monks, who had been the main producers in the meantime, had their estates taken away by Henry VIII. The new owners let the vineyards die out. But now English people, probably 29 their memories of holidays by the Mediterranean, drink more wine than 30 and the new industry is now developing at a modest but consistent rate.
