From the Publisher
I Don’t Know Much About Wine… But I Know What I Like wins Le Prix du Champagne Lanson
I Don’t Know Much About Wine…But I Know What I Like by Simon Woods has won the prestigious Lanson Wine Book of the Year Award 2004. The prize was announced on Monday 17th May at The Underglobe in London to a large audience of eminent drink authors, wine trade, members of the press, and publishers. Le Prix du Champagne Lanson gives national and international acclaim to their recipients, and is among the most significant and greatly valued award for those who write or broadcast on wine.
I Don’t Know Much About Wine… is a book for all those who have ever felt intimidated by the name dropping, the vintages and the snobbery. It comes to the modern man’s rescue with an ironic, irreverent insight into the seemingly stuffy subject of wine. In a handy paperback format with over thirty humorous graphic illustrations, this fool-proof, tongue-in-cheek manual offers fifty ways to get more out of a bottle of wine, entertainingly guiding the reader through all the basics of buying, drinking and enjoying, from knowing the difference between a good wine deal and a bad one, to where to shop for that special occasion. There’s also invaluable advice on how to spot a grape variety as against a wine style, exploring wine on the web and how to impress with taste.
Clutching a specially engraved bottle of Champagne Lanson, a jubilant Simon Woods commented: "It's a book for all those millions of people who drink wine regularly, and are asking, 'What's next?' Rather than take a shopping-list approach - Buy Wine 'A' from Shop 'B', and so on - my aim was to encourage people to make their own minds up, and to entertain them in the process. I'm delighted that the Lanson judges enjoyed the book - because if wine's not about enjoyment, what is it about?"
Michael Cox, the UK Director of Wines of Chile, and one of this year’s judges said about the book: "Every loo should have one!" Other judges included Jeremy Bowen, BBC Foreign Correspondent and Rosemary George MW, Chairman of the Circle of Wine Writers.
