The Queen has latched onto the English sparkling wine craze by producing 3,000 bottles from vines grown on her estate - and they were soon snapped up.

The industry is booming with the tipple becoming so popular that the UK is currently shipping out to 27 countries and boasts annual sales of about £100million.

Her Majesty has tapped into that success with her own her vineyard on the Windsor Great Park estate, where 16,700 chardonnay, pinot noir and pinot meunier vines were planted on a seven-acre patch back in 2011.

The English Quality Sparkling Wine is made from grapes harvested two years later in October 2013 and was only released three months ago.
