I've bought it, so I'll drink it : the joys (or not) of drinking wine

Jennings, Charles, 1956-2017
Books, Manuscripts
For people who wouldn't know a Romanee-Conti from a bad-boy Argentine malbec, or a glass of Chateau d'Yquem from a can of orange Tango, help is at hand. Based on the authors' highly esteemed blog, Sediment, this book takes a wry look at the social, financial, personal and marital issues surrounding middle-class wine drinking. Covering such vital topics as befriending a wine merchant, high-street wine from supermarkets and corner shops, tools of the trade like the pichet and tumblers, dining-table wine etiquette, wine in a box, the cubi flagon, wine drinking in the Georgian era, and even homage to le Piat d'Or, this is not a book that takes wine too seriously.
