The Juice 2006: 100 Wines You Should Be Drinking Matt Skinner
Mitchell Beazley
Definitely not for the stuffy, old school wine buffs, The Juice 2006 is for the hip and eager to know drinkers who enjoy a glass of wine and who want tips on what to buy, without having to wade through a lot of bottles or information to find it. This is less of a bluffer’s guide but more a helping hand to a new wine generation. This guide is unashamedly aimed at “The Urban Wine-drinker” – who enjoys drinking wine and wants the facts without the fluff. The Juice 2006 offers a fresh new approach to buying wine and is compiled by the world’s hippest new wine writer. Divided into topical chapters the book includes The Juice Awards, a guide to grapes and wine jargon and The Hot 100 which groups the wines into top 25 lists by occasion. Based on a weekly list of wines which Matt circulates by email the book features special photography and a bright, stylish design making it the most accessible wine guide available.
With a stash of really special bottles to live it large with, this funky, new, straighttalking wine buying guide has been put-together by London’s hippest sommelier and author of the highly successful Thirsty Work, which is published in nine countries and six foreign languages. This book breaks down the wines into chapters by occasion, including Skinner’s unique selections for budget days, making an impression, TV dinners, and cash to splash.
