The Six BEST Wine Books

What are the wine books every wine lover should own?We thought about it. We argued. We drank some wine. Argued some more...And then we decided: let's go for it. No messing around: choose just the six BEST books every wine lover needs, whether enthusiastic newbie or jaded expert.It wasn't easy. But this is the DEFINITIVE listing. A lot of thought and research went into this. Even some reading. Along the way we came across some bits that stopped us in our tracks. Like Hitler's secret wine cellar, 'freak' wines, the link between a dentist's drill and the most expensive bottle of wine ever sold, fish finger sandwiches, some cheeky poetry, the 'one-night-stand' of wines...And of course the quote about the salad and the sex toy 馃槼And that's from one of the most reputable voices in wine...In this episode, we heroically save you from the drivel and point you firmly towards the stuff of dreams.We choose the all-time six best wine books - plus six runners up (to make a full case of 12). With a few honourable mentions along the way.We also reveal our pet hates about wine books - and question whether books have a future at all.Perhaps, in your cheerful opinion, you believe we've got this list wrong. Maybe missed off the most life-changing publication EVER. Or you just fancy wading into the debate...Either way: do get in touch!
