JQFurther reading
Essential information for wine-lovers...

We are often asked where and how we get our information for the monthly features... In fact, it's a subtle blend of personal experience, travelling, conversation with experts, and inevitably, reference to all sorts of books. These days, websites are also indispensable, whether they be created by wine producers, national trade deputations, or enthusiasts like us.

Some of our sources remain indispensable because they offer clear, comprehensive explanations on a vast range of wine-related topics. Others come into their own when the topic is specific.

Month by month we will produce a feature-linked reading list to tell you what we found useful, so you can pursue your interest further if you desire.

Don't forget to check our Wine-Mine reviews in the Wine Press, and feel free to send us an email to tell us of a resource which has been helpful to you.
