Oz Clarke Wine Buying Guide 2001 Special

OZ CLARKE'S WINE BUYING GUIDE is the most authoritative, accessible and up-to-date wine-buying source available. Thousands of wines are listed by name, producer, vintage and price. The guide features a wealth of essential information, including over 10,000 wines and gives region-by-region assessments, detailed vintage information and maturity charts. There are also profiles of over 100 top UK wine retailers. As in previous editions, Oz makes his own personal recommendations for Best Buys, Value-for-money Wines and Top Supermarket Wines. Established in 1984 and now in its eighteenth edition, this guide is considered to be THE bible of the UK wine trade.

The 2001 edition of Oz Clarke's acclaimed guide is completely updated and laced with his famously witty and opinionated recommendations and warnings about the world's wines. This edition brings even more of Clarke's picks of the best wines in many categories and a look at the new opportunities provided by the Internet. Distinguished particularly by its ease of use, Oz Clarke's Pocket Wine Guide provides more than 1,600 entries covering every aspect of wine today. Clarke's intuitive A-to-Z format ensures that you will find the wine you are looking for, wherever it comes from. In addition, Clarke discusses how wine is made, modern wine styles, storing wines, vintages, and the world of winemaking from Germany to New Zealand.

From 1984 to 2005 OZ CLARKE'S WINE BUYING GUIDE has been the most authoritative, accessible and up-to-date guide to buying wine in the UK, the trusted bible of the wine trade and consumers alike. But, the growth in internet use has made the publication of detailed price comparisons in annual book form almost redundant. Keeping the wealth of wine recommendations and Oz Clarke's personal selections, and stripping out the historical duplication of information between POCKET WINE BOOK and the WINE BUYING GUIDE, leaves the most valuable content intact and makes this pocket-sized edition a true companion to OZ CLARKE'S POCKET WINE BOOK 2006. The guide offers readers 250 wine recommendations from 'The Wine Man', culled from the thousands he has tasted. The book contains sections on: Best Buys and Supermarket Selections - Oz Clarke's 250 favourite wines for 2006; Buying Wine on the Web; Oz Clarke's Wine Style Guide; How to Taste Wine - a step-by-step guide and finally, a Retailers' Directory - featuring the best wine retailers in the UK.

In this guide, thousands of wines are listed by name, producer, vintage and price, and all are available from wine merchants and leading supermarkets in Britain. Oz Clarke also offers his own particular recommendations.
