Publisher's Synopsis
OZ CLARKE'S WINE BUYING GUIDE is the most authoritative and up-to-date wine-buying handbook available today. Thousands of wines are listed by name, producer, vintage and price, and all are available from wine merchants, off-licences and leading supermarkets in Britain. This special edition for 2000 includes an additional 'party planner' colour section which gives useful tips on bulk buying for entertaining, glass hire etc and the results of Oz's champagne and sparkling wine tasting.
As in previous editions Oz makes his own personal recommendations, lists 'best buys' and picks the top of the supermarket own-brand wines. This combined with a wealth of useful background information, including region-by-region assessments, detailed vintage charts; maturity charts and cost-of-a-bottle diagrams make this an indispensable reference source. Established in 1984, this guide, now in its sixteenth edition, is considered to be the bible of the UK wine trade.
