Anatomy of the Wine Trade - Couverture souple

This vivid, entertaining and provocative book is an insider's account of everyday life in the wine trade. Simon Loftus analyses the challenges that face the trade and portrays a varied gallery of characters (rogues and heroes) going about their business. Growers and brokers, merchants, auctioneers and journalists prove even more interesting than the wines that they make and sell.
Simon Loftus writes with the enthusiasm of someone who discovered wine at the age of seven. A director of Adnams. the Suffolk brewers, he has during the past fifteen years transformed that company's wine department into one of the most interesting and adventurous wine merchants in the country.
Edited by the highly acclaimed wine journalist, Jancis Robinson, and illustrated by photographs taken by the author himself, Anatomy of the Wine Trade forms part of a lively new series of wine books published by Sidgwick & Jackson.
