Featuring information on both classic and cutting-edge wines, it’s packed with everything you need to hold your own in tasting rooms, shops, and beyond!

  • Includes updated information on navigating wine shops and selecting wines in restaurants
  • Covers the latest expert advice on buying wine online thanks to the online retail boom
