Matthew Jukes is uniquely placed among wine writers: he actually works in the wine trade. Unlike the other wine journos who are journalists who have turned their writing skills to wine, Matthew is a wine buyer, taster and expert who has turned his skills to writing. He tastes hundreds of wines every week of the year, so he knows what your local supermarket, off-licence and wine shop will be stocking well in advance. Here he shares those secrets to give you the best 250 wines to buy in 2006 and where to buy them. Combined with invaluable advice on matching wine and food, a glossary of wine types and wine-producing areas, a directory of wine merchants and an index by retailer and an index by wine to make the book even easier to use, The Wine List is the only guide you will ever need.
