Information

One of America's best novelists Jay McInerney is also well-known for being a wine connoisseur. Since beginning to drink wine, in emulation of his literary and cultural heroes, which he admits were not only Hemingway and Fitzgerald but also the characters that they gave birth to, McInerney's understanding of and fascination with wine has only grown. The Juice is an insight into a passion and pastime that McInerney believes should be accessible to everyone, from those popping down to the supermarket to those popping down to their wine cellars. Using his trademark flair and expertise, McInerney paints a collage of the almost infinite varieties of wine across the globe, extracting the best and the most affordable from the intimidating selection offered by the modern world.

An excellent wine writer. Self-deprecating, charming and funny Sunday Telegraph on A Hedonist in the Cellar It is a pleasure to see the wine world through a novelist's playful eyes, and to feel the infectious joy McInerney finds in great wines, places and personalities from around the world New York Times McInerney brings style and a sense of fun to a subject that can too often feel the preserve of the knowledgeable elite Daily Mail Not the usual run-of-the-mill wine writing Daily Telegraph
