Description:
For all of us who have stood in the supermarket bewildered by a vast array of bottles, or wondered whether to feel guilty at not knowing --or caring--which wines to drink with which foods, or spent a not-inconsiderable sum on a bottle of what turns out to be frightful slosh, one of Britain's most iconoclastic and witty writers now puts the wine business to the acid test. He unmasks the dubious temptations dangled before the professional wine critic, posing as an impartial authority in a newspaper column while elsewhere often unable to resist the lucrative reward of plugging the big retailers' own selections.
