Thirsty is the story of Tom Gilbey (The Wine Guy) and his life in wine, a celebration of the beautiful people who make it, and a history of his family’s love affair with winemaking – and drinking – since the 1800s.

Learn how to:

• Read a label (even if you can’t speak the language)
• Talk wine without sounding naff
• Choose wine in a restaurant
• Explain why some wine smells like your granny’s cardigan

You’ll travel with Tom to chateaux in France’s Beaujolais, vineyards in England’s Thames Valley, wineries in Australia’s Hunter Valley, and the aisles of Sainsbury’s, Waitrose, Majestic, and Oddbins.

Along the way, you’ll discover 100 Wine Wanker approved bottles: wines for friendships and long lunches, for spring afternoons and autumn evenings. Whether yours is a Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Kylie Minogue’s rosé, or orange wine, Tom will help you find the good options.

Let Tom show you how this gloriously gluggable elixir is made to bring pleasure, and that there is no right or wrong way to enjoy wine: just go for it.
