Author Bio
Robert Joseph, wine correspondent of the Sunday Telegraph, and founder-editor of WINE Magazine, has gained an international reputation for his lack of reverence for some of the sacred cows of the wine world. He believes that, however classy its name and label, every bottle ultimately has to represent value for money. He is Chairman of the International Wine Challenge, the world's biggest wine competition, and has appeared on radio and television in Britain, Australia and the USA. He is the winner of the Marques de Caceres Award, the Premier Award of the Wine Guild of the United Kingdom, and twice winner of the Glenfiddich Wine Writing Award.
