Synopsis:

Demonstrating the same breadth of knowledge and the same sense of enthusiasm as all the best wine books, but with none of the pomposity and pretentiousness that so often afflict such volumes, Graham Harding's A Wine Miscellany is a book to entertain, to stimulate and to inform. Packed with arcane information about everything from types of cork and other closures to the rarest and the most expensive wines (which are not necessarily the same thing), here at last is a book that a wine connoisseur may give to a novice, and that someone ignorant of wine may give to an expert. For anyone tired of miscellanies which are little more than the weary rehearsal of warmed-over facts, here at last is a book to charm the reader's nose and enliven the palate!

About the Author: Graham Harding is an amateur wine enthusiast and Chairman of the Oxford Wine Club, a director of a specialist wine importer, a joint founder of the Oxford Wine Forum, and holds the Diploma of the Wine and Spirits Educational Trust. He is also co-author of The Bluffer's Guide to Marketing and co-founder and director of Britain's largest independent branding consultancy.
