Description


Do you:
• Frequently panic in the wine aisle and end up reaching for the same old thing. Every. Single. Time?
• Simply pick the bottle with the nicest-looking label?
• Automatically pick the second-cheapest wine on the wine list?
• Feel it may be time to extend your wine horizons beyond Pinot Grigio?
If this is you, then you need to join the Knackered Mother’s Wine Club.
Come and explore the wonderful world of wine. From throwing a children’s party (because adults need something fizzy too), planning a wedding or matching wine with food, this book will help you make the right wine choice every single time. Go beyond the discount deals and discover the can’t-go-wrong crowd-pleasers, perfect reds to go with your Sunday roast, the best wine to drink with chocolate, plus some unexpected suggestions for your next girls’ night in.
This is the one wine guide that every woman should own.
Because life's too short to drink bad wine.
