THIRSTY

My favourite wine w nker Jack Whitehall I like to talk about wine the way normal humans talk about things they love it s not about showing off how many fancy wine terms I know The point is to share something I love with someone else in a way that makes them want to love it too Thirsty is the story of Tom Gilbey The Wine Guy and his life in wine a celebration of the bleedin beautiful people who make it and a history of his family s love affair with winemaking and let s be honest drinking since the 1800s Learn how to read a label even if you can t speak the language talk wine without sounding naff choose wine in a restaurant explain why some wine smells like your granny s cardiganAlong the way you ll discover 100 Wine W nker approved bottles wines for friendships and long lunches for autumn afternoons and winter evenings Whether yours is a Châteauneuf du Pape Kylie Minogue s rosé or God forbid orange wine Tom will help you find the good stuff always Let Tom show you how this gloriously gluggable elixir is at its heart made to bring pleasure and that there is no right or wrong to enjoy wine just go for it Entertaining and engaging Helen McGinn of knackeredmother
