Oz Clarke's wine guide 1999 - Oz Clarke

OZ CLARKE'S WINE GUIDE is the most authoritative and up-to-date wine-buying handbook available today. Thousands of wines are listed by name, producer, vintage and price, and all are available from wine merchants and leading supermarkets in Britain.

Oz makes his own personal recommendations, lists 'best buys' and picks the top of the supermarket own-brand wines. In addition, his guide provides a wealth of useful background information, including region-by-region assessments; detailed vintage charts; maturity charts and cost-of-a bottle diagrams. Established in 1984, this guide, now in its fifteenth edition, is considered to be the bible of the wine trade.

Oz Clarke is a well-known personality and highly respected authority on wine. He appears regularly on BBC TV's FOOD & DRINK programme and is the winner of all the major wine writing prizes both in the UK and US, including the Julia Child, Glenfiddich, Andre Simon and Lanson.
