Corker

A Deeply Unserious Wine Book

Summary

From wine writer and tv presenter Hannah Crosbie, Corker will become the go-to guide that matches wine with life's important (and unimportant) events.

So much of what we drink and how we drink it is rooted in occasion. What bottle do you buy the first time you meet the in-laws? What do you order on a date that’s going well? If it's not going well? What should you drink on a plane? Pairing sage advice with Hannah’s signature tongue-in-cheek humour, this is a deeply unserious wine book that celebrates the joy of everyday drinking.

Corker is a guide for wine novices staring nonplussed at supermarket shelf, as well as wine lovers who might already know their Chablis from their Chenin, but still need some inspiration when picking the best bottle for their budget and the occasion.

Reviews

  • The sexiest book there ever was about wine. Hannah weaves stories about love, life, and British drinking culture in like the expert storyteller that she is. If you need a guide for how to indulge in wine, glamorously and effortlessly, this is it.
