The Times Drink Book of the Year 2020“The founders of Noble Rot
restaurants and magazine prove that not all wine handbooks are full
of dry tasting notes and arcane French classifications. Dan Keeling
used to be in the music business and his angle is one of
appreciation but not reverence. Who can resist a book Brian Eno
says "brings originality, humour and now space travel to the
serious business of drinking wine”? It's all in here, from advice
on how to order wine in a restaurant to where to track down the
best bargains."
*Tony Turnbull, The Times*
The Financial Times Best Books of 2020"An entirely new sort of wine
book, devoid of stuffiness and presented in what I can only
describe as 'haute fanzine' style. Incredibly informative, slays
quite a few holy cows and, in the very best way, will drive you to
drink."
*Tim Hayward, The Financial Times*
BBC R4 The Food Programme Books of the Year"Not only do you end up
a lot more knowledgeable about wine after you've read this book,
but you really care about it. Which is quite difficult to do in a
subject like wine, where a lot of authors make it quite stuffy.
This does the exact opposite to that."
*Jaega Wise, The Food Programme*
Archaic, funny, informative – Noble Rot magazine has become a cult
read for foodies. Now there's a brilliant book that explains
everything you need to know about wine.
*The Sunday Times Style*
This hefty hardback goes down smoothly, tackling almost every
aspect of the wine world in a personable and accessible way.
