With tips on how to make the right wine choices for every occasion, from children’s parties (because adults need something fizzy too), to planning a wedding or matching wine with food, this book will help you to choose with confidence. Helen teaches you:
- What to look for in discount deals

Wine is about far more than just what's in the glass (although that's important too); it brings us together and helps us to find a moment to stop, connect and share stories. This crash-course guide will help you know what to look for so that you can maximize your enjoyment, whether raising a glass for a special occasion, or winding down when the kids have finally gone to bed.
Because life's too short to drink bad wine.
