Some possible gift solutions, at varying price points.
THE STOCKING FILLER
The 24-Hour Wine Expert £4.99 Penguin or $12.95 Abram
All the essentials of wine in a handbook slim enough to slip into a pocket. This is designed for anyone who drinks wine and wants an express route to basic wine expertise. Read more...
And see our Books section for more suggestions: the fourth edition of The Oxford Companion to Wine (£40/$65), Wine Grapes (£120/$199.99) or the seventh edition of The World Atlas of Wine (£40/$60) for instance. Or put 'book review' in our general search to find Tam's thoughts on the latest wine books to see the light of day. We are continuing to publish more of them in the run-up to Christmas.

THE PERFECT PRESENT FOR A WINE LOVER...
...with a special extra gift for both you and the recipient.
