Joëlle Thomson has a well-established reputation as a leading wine writer, and her annual guide to best value wines for New Zealand consumers is eagerly awaited. Designed as the indispensable ‘must-have’ guide to affordable wines available in New Zealand, it will once again be crammed with useful information to help price-conscious consumers choose the best value wine. Local and international wines will be tested by Joëlle, to give a comprehensive overview of the new vintage along with the highlights of the vintage year, wine news and developments and tips on the storage and serving of wines.

A busy working mother, she knows exactly what people need to know to make informed choices, in their local wineshop or supermarket, and her absolutely essential wine guide will help them choose the right wine for their budget with confidence.
