Issue 3 - Tour de France

France is the largest wine producing country in the world but understanding French wines can be one hell of a challenge.

We give you a very brief introduction to Frances' main wine producing regions to remove some of the mystery around French wines and to give you an understanding of which regions you many or may not like. We'll continue to explore France further in coming issues.

We also interview Chester d'Arenberg Osborn; one of the most fascinating charachters we have ever met with some of the loudest shirts we have ever seen.

We also look at Majestic and Berry Brothers and Rudd including some sneaky secret shopping.

And there's even a chance to be a published writer in future issues! See inside for details.

Issue 2 - Choctastic Snippet

Supposedly a mini-editon we ended up cramming more into this than we initally intended!

The core artcile was around wine and chocolate and whether, if you absolutely had to give up one or the other, this would be an easy decision to make.

We also try to cheat by seeing if we can find a wine that also satisfys chocolate cravings and set the task to two merchants to see if they will take us seriously.

We also look at why how you serve wine is important to get the very best out of every bottle.

Also we look at the impact of weather and climate on wine to help you understand how and why the same grapes can taste different when grown in different regions of the world.

Issue 1 - Our fizztastic first issue

For our first issue we thought it incredibly appropriate to focus on that drink that is at the centre of all big celebrations - Champagne.

We visit Krug in Reims and ask is it the greatest champagne there is?

For those who find the price of champagne a little steep but love bubbles, we look at what options there out there that provide good quality at a low price.

Our first Lost in Translation artcile talks about why many people find Old Wrld wines confusion and discusses what you are missing out on as a result.

We also visit six wines eight, a winemerchant that has taken a unique approach by limiting choice to avoid confusion.

Prequel - Our Christmas Cracker

This was our Christmas snippet which was only a little 'un but focused on how to match wines to Christmas Dinner.

More of a stocking filler than anything else but still better than a lump of coal.
