In between the festive glasses and bottles, check out the latest words published about what's in them. Old books pictured by Ed Robertson via Unsplash.com.
We are very grateful for Tamlyn Currin’s unusually comprehensive and perceptive reviews of some of the best (and the rest) of what was published in 2020 on and around wine.
We have already published many of these collections of reviews (and may publish a few more) for Purple Pagers specifically. But over the Christmas and New Year holidays we are republishing some of them free so that even more people can enjoy them. We hope that in doing so the relevant authors may benefit from additional publicity and we hope, as authors ourselves, that some additional sales may result in these difficult times.
