Often, choosing the right wine can often make or break a meal. Whether you’re looking for the perfect accompaniment to a meal at home or choosing from the best wine lists in London (such as the Independent’s winner of Best Wine List 2009), it can be a confusing take for many. Now Simon Hoggart, who’s the wine writer for the Spectator and runs the Spectator Wine Club, has the answer.
His new book, “Life’s Too Short to Drink Bad Wine: 100 wines for the discerning drinker”, is a great starting point for anyone wishing to broaden their wine drinking horizons as he recommends a hundred wines to try – without breaking the bank. Hoggart writes for those interested in wine and who want to know more, rather than for the expert – and the book also tells you how to read a wine label, and has a guide to the various wine regions.
