Anatomy of the Wine Trade - Abe's Sardines and Other Stories |
An engaging series of character studies from the wine trade of the mid-eighties. Although the author insists that the profession of wine-buyer is neither glamorous nor enviable he then proves otherwise with these affectionate and kindly portraits. From soil to shop each stage in the wine-making process has its representative, all struggling to make a profit. With the rise of the supermarkets I was left wondering how they had all fared in the intervening years. (Clive Yelf - bwl 21 November 2003) |
