Knowing the difference between all those bottles on the supermarket shelves will double the pleasure you get from a glass of wine and, with Fred Sirieix as your guide, you' ll discover how to get the flavour you want. In Wine Uncorked, Fred decants a career' s worth of expertise in his own friendly and accessible style, revealing how everything from price point to percentage impacts what ends up in your glass, how to decipher a label and which glass to use.
