Quirky wine basics book - Pls support an ED Author!

Recommended Posts

Hello EDF,


I'm a wine journalist based in East Dulwich and have just published my first book entitled 'Winebird's VINALOGY: wine basics with a twist!'.


It would be great to have some local support for this book and get the reviews going on Amazon etc. if possible, so if you're interested, please have a look! It's available now on most online book stores including Amazon(RRP ?8.99)as well as on Kindle (RRP ?3.99).


VINALOGY offers a different take on learning about wine, using storytelling, imagery and analogy (vinalogies) instead of dull winemaking facts. Did you know that Cabernet Sauvignon was the rugby player of wine grapes, for example? Or that Pinot Noir was the ballerina? VINALOGY focusses on the real building blocks of wine: the top ten red and white grape varieties and answers those frequently asked wine questions.


More info can be found on my website http://www.winebird.co.uk


Thanks very much for reading. Here's a picture of the rather lovely cover :)

Hi Helena - the book looks great, congratulations! Like many people, the subject interests me a great deal but I've always slightly glazed over at the sheer info overload - yours is presented differently and I already know more than I did half an hour ago...made me chuckle too, quite an achievement as I sit here at Heathrow having been up since 4.45am! I've downloaded to my Kindle and will do the honours on Amazon soon. Go for it, fellow EDFers!


All the best

Helen :-)

    • Other than acting as 'interested parties' Southwark Councillors have no responsibility for water issues. And no real leverage either. Considering the complete disdain with which Thames Water treats its own Regulator, and the government, (let alone its customers) I doubt very much whether an entire battalion of councillors would have much impact. What powers could they exercise?
    • That may not be so - many on this site are experts in many areas - you yourself claim huge traffic management (or similar) expertise for instance. And I think you will find that Southwark employees are unlikely to support criticism or challenges to Southwark policy - why, you don't and you apparently neither live in, or vote in, the borough. Do you, however, work for it, as you are such a cheerleader? If not, then you are the most passionate disinterested person on this site, as regards so many aspects, not just traffic.
    • Rather than have a go at Southwark,  contact them, they will employ at least one arborist who will know far more than most people on this site. Here's one: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shaun-murphy-morris-03b7b665/?originalSubdomain=uk
    • I would look in the surrounding area as once they realise it has nothing they could sell or of obvious monatary value in it they'll dump the bag and contents.
