The world of wine tasting has long been the preserve of a select few, surrounded in mystery and complex theory. Now Malcolm Gluck, in his inimitably frank style, strips wine tasting of all its pomp and snobbery, and shows how each one of us can learn how to sup like the best of them.

Starting from the basics such as how to spot a corked bottle and what kind of glass to select, he takes us through each process one by one. Most importantly, he explains that wine tasting involves every single one of the senses, and only when we have mastered the art of tuning all these can we truly appreciate a wine.

Beautifully illustrated and designed, but above all full of practical advice and tips, The Sensational Liquid will be indispensable to all those who want to learn how to take their enjoyment of wine drinking to even greater heights.

Malcolm Gluck is the wine correspondent for the Guardian in which he writes a weekly Saturday column, Superplonk. He has presented his own BBC-2 TV series, Gluck, Gluck, Gluck.
