Jancis Robinson is probably the top wine writer in the world. While being a wine expert, she can still bring it back to basics with a clarity and wit that is all too often missing from the established wine writers who take the whole wine thing very seriously.

The aim of this book is to get you up to scratch on wine appreciation, how to taste, what to look for and how to tell your Chardonnay from your Riesling.
