There is no more inspiring place to buy, drink or study wine than at Berry Bros & Rudd’s historic building in St James’s, London.
And now you can explore the pleasures of wine through the book produced by the firm’s award-winning Wine School. Whether you are starting to explore or building your experience, Exploring & Tasting Wine gives you the tools to recognise, remember and enjoy wine.. Why do I like this wine, not that one? How can I store this knowledge and use it to guide me to other wines I’ll enjoy? What are the reasons this wine works with this food? What about organic wine? Biodynamic wine? Natural wine?
Featuring a foreword by the actor and author Emma Thompson, a former Wine School pupil, the book focusses on the classic grape varieties that form the backbone of great wines the world over. For each grape there are innovative practical pages with groundbreaking graphics that best describe vital factors such as aroma, flavour and balance, and wine and food. Background pages take you further and help broaden your understanding of wine and its components; and discussions by the Berry Bros Masters of Wine and other experts explore myriad wine topics.
Exploring & Tasting Wine is from people who teach wine every day, and who know the questions wine-lovers, both novices and experienced, want to ask. This is not a book for wine snobs; this book believes that a wine can be summed up in one short sentence: ‘Is it good to drink?’

About the Author
Berry Bros & Rudd is Britain’s oldest wine merchant and still family-run. The firm has been trading from the same shop at No. 3 St James’s Street, London near St James’s Palace since 1698; and it has been serving the royal family since the time of George III. Over three centuries later, with two Royal Warrants and eight Masters of Wine, the family business continues to flourish. It was the first wine merchant to begin on-line sales, in 1994, and its award-winning Wine School courses, held in the historic Pickering Cellars below the shop, have been running since 2000.

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
