Product Description
Book Description
The first edition of a major new wine reference work. Its global coverage includes all the best producers from every major winemaking region – from Bordeaux to Napa, from South Australia to Tuscany. With real insights into what a producer’s wines taste like, the authors elucidate wine style and not simply flavours. Seeking in part to redress the imbalance between large corporate-owned wine companies and the small grower, Williamson and Moore bring the producer a little closer to whoever is drinking their wine. Wine behind the label provides a price guide on over 10,500 wines and where to find them – over the internet, through a merchant or retailer.
From the Back Cover
As more people are discovering the joys of fine wine there is a real need to discern both quality and value; this book is the answer.
‘An incredibly in-depth and addictively readable survey of wines of quality from around the world with intelligent tasting notes and informative background to the producers, plus stockists and UK prices. For me, by far the best of the wine guides’
Steven Spurrier, Decanter Magazine
‘This is Robert Parker territory but succinct and cheaper’
Joanna Simon,
Sunday Times
‘I heartily recommend this book as a thorough independent overview of the world’s best wine estates’
Tom Cannavan, wine-pages.com
‘I’d plump for this in preference to many of the rather unimaginative titles offered by mainstream wine publishers’
Jamie Goode, wineanorak.com
‘As essential to the sommelier as their corkscrew’
Paul Dwyer, BBC Radio 5 Live and BBC Radio Scotland

Dr Edward Fitzgerald, Oxford University Wine Society
