Cheers!

Halfpenny Green - near Wolverhampton - has traditionally been known for its airport, but is now becoming famous for its vineyard.  They've been making wine there for many years, but apparently the weather last autumn was perfect for grape production, and they've come up with a stunning red wine made from Rondo grapes and with an ABV of 15% which is getting rave reviews.  Mind you, at £15 a bottle, I'm afraid it's outside my price range!  One other thing - I've always pronounced it Hayp'ny Green, like the coin, but some presenters on the TV  news - including the local news - are pronouncing it as written.  How do the inhabitants say it?
