Author Peter F May believes wine should be fun, and this book celebrates the quirky and odd. But among the humour there is solid wine information. You'll learn why many red Shiraz wines now contain some white Viognier, what 'Contains Sulphites' means, why older women ask for 'the big one' instead of naming the wine they want, and what happens when Rude Girl gets warm.

    Winemakers, winery owners and label designers and artists have told Peter the story behind their labels. And when you've finished laughing, there is information about how to remove wine labels, contact details for the wines featured, and a comprehensive glossary.
