The Knackered Mother's Wine Guide: Because Life's too Short to Drink Bad Wine

Product Information

Made in the same way but with different grapes and from a neighbouring region in Italy, it makes for a properly refreshing change. Just finished reading this as I emerge from knackered motherdom dreaming of a life beyond cleaning and feeding two very small people. She has a weekly wine column in the Daily Mail and regularly appears on television as a wine expert. I’ve done plenty of wine tastings over the years but one particular tasting stands out, not least because I was wearing a gold catsuit and sharing a stage with DJ Sara Cox and comedians The Scummy Mummies with a tent full of knackered mothers. If Argentinian malbec is your thing, try one from its spiritual home, France, for an earthier take on it.

The little-known Italian grape arneis is hard to find on shelves – and usually a lot more expensive – so this is a real find. From Navarra, made by a forward-thinking producer who chooses not to add any sulphur to their wines once made. This pretty pale pink rosé from the Languedoc in the south of France is all white peaches with a citrus twist. Try the Loire Valley for whites, Navarra in Spain for rosé and smaller appellations in Southern France for reds and you’ll get great value for money compared with some of the big wine region names.We’ve got some really great collaborations planned with non-wine brands to help get the book out to a new audience, mostly involving drinking wine in a relaxed setting. I recently received this book and to start with was a little unsure as my knowledge of wine was limited.
