All for wine and wine for all! From Saturday Kitchen wine expert Olly Smith, a brilliantly entertaining guide to choosing, tasting and enjoying wine with confidence.
Wine doesn't have to be expensive, complicated or full of jargon. Whether you're standing in the supermarket wondering which bottle to choose, ordering wine in a restaurant or planning a dinner with friends, Olly will show you how to enjoy the wonderful world of wine.
Award-winning broadcaster, presenter and drinks writer Olly shares everything you need to know to buy better, taste with confidence and discover the wines you'll love. From how much to spend and what different grape varieties actually taste like, to pairing wine with your favourite food and finding glorious bottles for every occasion, this is wine made simple.
Following Olly's practical advice, you'll also discover his Top 30 Wines to Try Before You Die, his Ten Commandments of Wine, an indispensable Grape Thesaurus and plenty of tips to help you get more pleasure from every glass.
Whether you're buying your first chardonnay or pinot noir, looking for the perfect gift for the wine lover in your life or simply want to drink the very best bottles you can, WINE is the friendly, accessible companion you'll return to again and again.
