'A full-bodied book that’s really got legs'Mail on Sunday

Thirsty is more than a wine guide; it’s the story of one man’s lifelong love affair with the great, big beautiful world of wine.

Join Tom as he journeys from French châteaux and English vineyards to the unsung aisles of Sainsbury’s, Majestic and – rest in peace – Oddbins. Along the way, you’ll discover 100 Wine W*nker approved bottles and learn how to:

- read a label (even if you can’t speak the language)
- talk wine without sounding naff
- choose wine in a restaurant
- explain why some wine smells like your granny’s cardigan
