This expose of the wine industry aims to provide wine drinkers with a guideline to getting the best value for money. Specific wines are highlighted to illustrate both the best tastes available at reasonable prices and the absurdity of paying high prices for inferior products.

Wine expert Andrew Barr is a regular contributor on drinks topics to "Vogue", "Wine" and "Decanter" magazines.
