Keith Grainger

Keith Grainger is a wine writer, broadcaster, educator and consultant winemaker. His latest book 'Wine Faults and Flaws: A Practical Guide' is a comprehensive and very readable examination and explanation of the causes and impact of the faults, flaws and taints that may affect wines. The book won the 2022 Prix de l'OIV (OIV Award) for the Oenology Category, and follows its success in the Gourmand Awards as The Best Wine Book for Professionals 'Wine Production and Quality' (co-author Hazel Tattersall) won the Best Wine Book for Professionals in 25 Years, and 'Wine Quality Tasting and Selection’ won the award for the Best Wine Education Book in the World in 20 years. A reviewer noted, 'a constant feature....is how well Keith balances his mastery of the technicalities with a certain common touch - the ability to explain sometimes complex issues in easy-to-understand terms.'

Keith was a founder of the Association of Wine Educators, and a member of the Circle of Wine Writers.
