Publishers Text

Based on the results of the "Wine Magazine International Wine Challenge" where 300 wine experts tasted over 7000 wines from around the world, this leather-bound pocket book provides accessible information on the 2000 wines which were awarded medals. Only 160 of these wines received prestigious gold medals, and of these, ten cost under #5.00. Given special "Wines of the Year" awards as exceptional wines which fit the criteria of national availability and affordability, these great value wines include the 1993 La Serre Sauvignon Blanc, Vin de Pays d'Oc, and the 1993 Rosemount Carbernet-Shiraz. Listed by country, region, style and price, every wine carries the same range of information: the wine name (and vintage where applicable), the tasting note, average retail price, guide to stockists and the medal the wine was awarded. There is also a complete alphabetical index to lead the reader straight to the wine of their choice, and a useful listing of white and red wines under #5.00 and sparkling wines under #10.00.
