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
“Henry Jeffreys is everything you want a wine writer to be: funny, knowing, unpretentious but also un-blokeish, funny, clever, refreshing, original, funny and inquisitive. And did I say funny?”
Craig Brown"Even if you don't like wine, and you don't like reading, you will enjoy reading Henry Jeffreys on wine and other ‘tipples’ (sorry – banned word)."
Rachel Johnson"I am a great admirer of Henry Jeffreys and have been eagerly awaiting his booze and empire book for many years!" Elif Batuman
