Summary

‘My favourite wine w*nker’ - Jack Whitehall ‘An enormously entertaining read’ - Spectator ‘A full-bodied book that’s really got legs’ - Mail on Sunday

‘I like to talk about wine the way normal humans talk about things they love – it’s not about showing off how many fancy wine terms I know. The point is to share something I love with someone else in a way that makes them want to love it too.’
