Collecting wine can be a serious business or simply a hobby, but wherever you sit on that scale the same basic principles apply, whether you have 60 bottles or 6,000. This book aims to be a useful guide for both enthusiastic amateurs and more serious wine buyers, helping them navigate their way through the joys and difficulties of the wine trade. From the first steps into retail wine aisles to the complex world of auctions, brokers and allocations, finding a balance that fits your budget and lifestyle is vitally important. Wine is a luxury, one of life's great pleasures, but unless you are simply in it for the money (easier said than done), then you should also only think about wines you actually like to drink.

Chris Hambleton has had a 25-year career in wine and worked in all aspects of the business, from the shop floor, to wine education, to guiding tours around First Growth Chateaux, to restaurant consultancy. He now runs Bacchus Wine Auctions, inspecting, valuing and selling millions of pounds' worth of wine every year. Equally at home in a dusty cellar or wielding the gavel at one of Bacchus' live-streamed auctions, he is known for both his expert knowledge and his frank and open commentary. Chris lives in the South of England with his wife, two children and two dogs, and ensures he keeps up to date with all things vinous by regularly sharing treasures from the cellar with fellow wine enthusiasts.
