An invaluable guide to the world of wine

Mystified by Morgon ? Not sure whether you should keep that bottle of Chateauneuf du Pape or quaff it now ? Clarke and Spurrier have the answers in this easy to follow guide which covers the main wine producing countries. Its certainly a must if you're a channel hopping wine shopper. Wines are carefully described and each entry includes a list of the best years, the best producers and when the wine is ready to drink. Best of all, here's a book that's free of the old tea chests and tcp school of wine tasting, preferring instead to use straightforward, easy to understand descriptions of taste and colour. Taking it with us to France recently led to the discovery of several wines we hadn't tried before because we weren't sure what they were. Highly recommended.
