Customer Reviews

Brilliant guide to the best wines on sale now
I hate choosing wine because I have absolutely no knowledge on what types are the best for drinking with what etc... and often spend at least ten minutes pacing up and down the aisle in the supermarket trying to best guess what will be a nice drink. I do not have this problem anymore - this book is really easy to follow and Oz just tells you instantly what the big hitters are. Includes all the supermarkets and wine merchants. I bought a £3.11 red wine and a £10 bottle of white from Majestic following the book and both were much much better than anything I would have chosen myself.

Oz knows best
This is an excellent book.

Oz manages to pack loads of information into this small and concise volume, he readily explains the best wines available from dealers and the local shop / supermarket, I have tried a few from the book and he is spot on every time.

Being a relative beginner to the world of good wine this is the first book I have bought and I find it very informative but not in a posh snobby way, it is easily accessible and he really does well in bringing good wine to the masses and beginners.

Well done Oz.
