"The founders of Noble Rot restaurants and magazine prove that not all wine handbooks are full of dry tasting notes and arcane French classifications. Dan Keeling used to be in the music business and his angle is one of appreciation but not reverence. Who can resist a book Brian Eno says "brings originality, humour and now space travel to the serious business of drinking wine"? It's all in here, from advice on how to order wine in a restaurant to where to track down the best bargains."
Tony Turnbull, The Times
