The Unsung Hero of the British Wine Trade

Spurrier was born with a silver spoon, and has never stopped stirring – happily for the wine trade and the general gaiety of nations.He has forgotten nothing, either: here is the wine trade as you never saw it before, in detail from the dire to the sublime.Not to be put down: not Spurrier, nor his book.
