It's a commonplace aspiration among wine fans to own a little vineyard and dedicate their lives to making wine. Images of days spent caring for the vines and then retiring to a garden patio in the evenings to try the resulting drinks are definitely tempting, but not likely to be realised.

Wine connoisseurs can now live the daydream at least a little bit, by adopting a vine at one of the UK's leading vineyards. After you've adopted the grape vine, you'll get a certificate telling you exactly which vine plant you've taken on, plus a lot of info on the history of the vineyard and the drinks it creates.

You'll also be given a free tour of the vineyard, as well as a price reduction on anything you purchase during your tour.

For most of us, having a vineyard and making wine will always be a dream, but this marvellous idea of adopting a vine will make a terrific present for anyone with an interest in how their wine is produced.
