Product Description
Oz Clarke, Britain's favourite wine writer and broadcaster, is absolutely in tune with what wine drinkers want today - flavour, individuality, excellent value for money and wines that are readily available. Oz has tasted thousands of wines and selected his 250 Best Wines for 2012. Oz shows you how to find the flavours you want, from refreshing whites and fashionable roses, through juicy, fruity gluggers to serious, spicy reds that are perfect partners for food. The guide includes sparkling wines, from Champagne to Prosecco and Cava and fizz from Australia, New Zealand and England, luscious pudding wines and ports and appetizing sherries. This new edition of Oz Clarke's phenomenally successful annual Wine Buying Guide also contains: a guide to wine flavours; wine finder by country and by producer; storing, serving and tasting; buying for the long term; and a directory of the UK's top retailers, from fine wine merchants to supermarkets and high street chains. 250 Best Wines is the must-have shopping guide to make wine buying hassle-free. Oz's independent, enthusiastic and reliable recommendations will help you find the wines you want at the prices you want to pay, from GBP3.4 9 to GBP31.

Format:Paperback
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.

I gave this to an enthusiastic wine novice for Christmas. Since then he's read it more than 5 times and is keen to develop his wine knowledge further!
The language of the book is ideal for the novice and many of the wines are affordable and easily found on the high street.
Oz Clarke's style is witty, entertaining and informative.
A great value book for the price.

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.

Poorly designed, but some good finds
This is not a bad guide, but nothing amazing. It is a little let down by a poor layout design, which makes it quite hard to read - it is disappointing that a book like this... Read more
