Review
'For an omnibus guide to wine, the competition in the portable reference category comes down to Clarke and Hugh Johnson. Clarke wins on style and ease of use.' (Harvey Steimen, Wine Spectator, 15 March 1994) 'Oz is brilliant. His knowledge of wines and sense of humour always cut to the chase. This is a great book.' (Jamie Oliver, 2001) 'Oz Clarke has undoubtedly been the most influential wine presenter in the last ten years...' (Hello)

This book is written in an useful no nonsense A to Z style. If you know the name of a wine, but don't where it's from; you can quickly locate it and find more information on the wine quality and vintages. It is an useful adjunct to Hugh Johnson's pocket guide, which sets out wines in regions. The accompanying "Wine Buying Guide" unfortunately is full of adverts and seems suspiciously commercially driven. But overall - not bad at all.

I love a bargain and this double act represents real value for money. Oz Clarke, in my book, is far and away the best wine writer - vivid descriptions, extraordinary breadth of knowledge, strong opinions. If you want to branch out and try some new and exciting wines, follow Oz's recommendations. I've just enjoyed a bottle of Tim Adam's Shiraz (The fruit is a miraculously fresh marriage of blackberry, prunes and sloe, awash in basketsful of licorice and black chocolate, and the sensual thick texture is spiced up a bit with a haunting perfume of eucalyptus and mint, says Oz.) Quite!
