It is difficult to convey the breadth of the Wine Guide’s coverage. The index alone runs to 50 pages, and every wine is critically analysed and evaluated by an experts.

Wine has a little bit of a reputation for snobbery, and this is perhaps not entirely undeserved. We can understand those who want a simple, straightforward drink to quaff down the pub, and there’s a time and a place for that. Wine however is a drink of the people in other cultures – what does the average Frenchman enjoy with his excellent camembert and baguette than a lovely glass of local wine?
Nevertheless, to a certain extent wine is a drink for a palette willing to experience a complicated taste. You may laugh at the concept of ‘Terroir’ but it is actually a wonderfully romantic notion. Every nuanced little feature of where the grape is grown and how, the angle of the hill and the direction it faces, the type of soil, the amount of rain, is reflected in how it tastes. That’s why anyone who has ever said ‘ah, a fine year for a Languedoc-Rousillon’ isn’t just being pretentious but may actually have a point.
There is a time and a place for every type of alcohol. Wine’s place is to be sipped alongside a great meal, with your family, as you discuss each other’s day and share a few laughs. I, for one, welcome every type of drinking that brings people closer together (quiet at the back, please).
