Great pocket wine guide
I have used Hugh Johnson's Pocket Wine Book for years. The latest issue as usual has concise but wide ranging details on most wineries/wines you are likely to come across, arranged by country. There are suggestions for best value wines from particular wineries,and vintages that are especially good and ready for drinking now are highlighted. There is a potted description of recent vintages for countries and regions and food and wine matching advice. I like the portability of the book and take it on holiday always. Last week it helped in chosing some great Sicilian wines! Highly recommended.

Hugh Johnson
I always pull out my Hugh Johnson whenever i'm in a restaurant, it always proves to be a great talking point and the ladies never fail to be impressed. Very useful, simple and practicable guide. I recommend that everybody get their hands on a hugh johnson this christmas.

Perfect - all you need for wine info
An excellent book, year after year. All you need in terms of wine info, from the leading authority. Handy tables in the front cover show drinking-up times. Recommended.
