From 1984 to 2002 Oz Clarke's "Wine Buying Guide" became one of the most popular and accessible guides to buying wine in the UK, for both the wine trade and consumers. But the growth in internet use has made the publication of detailed price comparisons in annual book form almost redundant. So, keeping the wine recommendations and Oz Clarke's personal selections, and stripping out the historical duplication of information between his "Pocket Wine Book" and the "Wine Buying Guide", leaves the most valuable content intact to form this pocket-sized new edition as a companion to "Oz Clarke's Pocket Wine Book 2003". The new-style guide offers readers 250 wine recommendations culled from the thousands Oz has tasted. The book contains sections on: Best Buys and Supermarket Selections - Oz Clarke's 250 favourite wines for 2003; Buying Wine on the Web; Oz Clarke's Wine Style Guide; How to Taste Wine - a step-by-step guide; and finally, a Retailers' Directory - featuring the best wine retailers in the UK.
