The Ox and Bucks Wine Collective, a local community group, concluded their 2024 grape harvest last weekend in Abingdon. Members brought in grapes from their vines, pooling their efforts to produce a collective wine.

The harvest collection took place at two locations:
* Bucksum near Thame on September 29th
* Peachcroft Farm, Abingdon on October 6th

Thanks to Margaret for the pictures.

The volume of grapes was down on 2023. Despite rising temperatures, erratic weather can make it difficult to cultivate grapes in a cooler climate.

The harvested grapes will be processed and bottled, with the finished wine expected to be available for collection in May or June 2025.
