"A book about the wine culture around Bordeaux, as seen through the fresh and often mischievous eyes of Somerville and Ross... a travelogue, a social commentary and... a historical record." - Victoria Moore

Ian Maxwell Campbell, first class cricketer and leading London wine merchant, looks back in 1945 on an idyllic career in wine, particularly the wines of Bordeaux, and the historic wines he shared with friends and colleagues during that career.

Maurice Healy, Irish barrister practising at the English Bar and well-known wine connoisseur, takes a wide-ranging tour of European wine regions, and recounts historic vintages he had the good fortune to drink.

In this unique study of wine through the ages, journalist and World War I frontline reporter, H Warner Allen casts an observant eye over the way wine appears in literature.
