Wales (Welsh: Cymru), with its capital Cardiff, covers 20,735 km² and is part of the "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland". Its special status is manifested by its own parliament, created in 1999, and a government with limited, decentralised powers. Wales lies to the west of the island of Great Britain and borders England as well as the Irish Sea (Môr Iwerddon in Wallisian) to the north, the St George's Channel (Sianel San Siôr in Wallisian) to the west and the Bristol Channel (Môr Hafren in Wallisian) to the south.

Viticulture

The climate is cool and humid, influenced by the Gulf Stream. The warmer summers of recent years have favoured viticulture. It can be assumed that it is benefiting from climate change. The first winery with commercial viticulture was founded in 1875. Today there are around 30 wineries. The Royal Family also had a three-hectare vineyard planted in Windsor Great Park (old royal landscape) in 2011.
