Quotes:
"Henry writes a blog with the (to me) rather unappetising name World of booze. Actually it is highly literate and has the more appealing subtitle 'For the impecunious amateur'." Jancis Robinson
“Wonderful, jolly, upbeat blog that makes the subject of wine fun – particularly the drinking of it. Not just dull old lists of what to buy. But also very informative – brilliant!” Tom Innes from Fingal Rock wine merchants
