A reasonable try (1/1 people found this helpful)
This is an inexpensive, easy-to-use guide which can help you sort the bargains from the mass-market trash. It can also give you more confidence to try unfamiliar grapes and wine styles. However, his scoring system reflects value for money rather than outright quality, and in 2008 I found many of his high-scoring recommendations rather idiosyncratic compared to 2007. His coverage of different supermarket chains seems dependent on what they offer him to sample. Most disappointingly, if you buy this book for Christmas and look for his main 2009 recommendations in January 2009, they may already have sold out, leaving you with the (usually disappointing) option of a more recent vintage.

Easy guide to use but regretably recomendations did not hit the mark.
Very limited choice from Supermarkets such as Tesco as he does not have a strong link.
Useful and interesting (1/1 people found this helpful)
A very useful book, small enough to carry around with you when out shopping. The information given is detailed enough to make it an interesting read in its own right, and of course the benefit of the book is clear in the title. An excellent idea.
So helpful!! (2/2 people found this helpful)
This book's an absolute treasure...I find it so confusing trying to pick out a wine in the supermarket but this gives you the best ones available. The price guide is really helpful too, especially when on a budget - makes sure you don't end up with a disgusting wine just because you can't afford the really expensive ones! I'd highly recommend this guide
