Who? Paul Lukacs What? At times, we can get a little bogged down with what a wine tastes like and how it smells. What we’ve neglected, often, is to find out a wine’s story. Paul Lukacs’ Inventing Wine is not just telling the story of one wine but all wines. It takes the reader through a journey of wine from history to today – a must if you want to know about more than just wine. When? Available now Where? Available in store and online How?

Who? Tio Pepe What? If you thought you knew what fino serry was all about then Tio Pepe En Rama will definitely change your mind. This fifth annual release is unfiltered fino that’s bottled from two different soleras (the system by which sherry is produced) when the flor (the stuff that gives sherry its flavour) is at their thickest. Complex, nutty and definitely a change from expectations. When? Available now Where? Berry Brothers & Rudd, Lea & Sandeman, The Wine Society and other good wine merchants How?
