See a review of this DVD here.
You can now order our brand new DVD of the nine best 10-minute film portraits in our two award-winning and very entertaining BBC2 series Vintners’ Tales shown in 1992 and 1998, comprising the following characters in conversation with me:
John Avery MW
Bill Baker of Reid Wines
Adam Brett-Smith of Corney & Barrow
Michael Broadbent MW
Carla Carlisle of Wyken Vineyards
Farr Vintners
Edmund Penning-Rowsell
Harry Waugh Hon MW
Nigel Wilson of Lincoln College, Oxford.
Each series won ‘Best Television Programme of the Year; in the annual Glenfiddich Awards, the dominant food and drink media awards in the UK at the time. The 1998 series also earned me the only ever Glenfiddich TV Personality of the Year (beating off several celebrity chefs) and went on to global recognition by winning the Gold Award for Wine TV Programmes at the World Food Media Awards, Tasting Australia in 1999. (I must confess I'd forgotten all this - just been reminded when looking it up here.) I should warn you that, being a compilation of archive material, this is not spanking new video quality that looks as though it were filmed last week - just look at my wardrobe, for instance.
We are now offering these 90-minute DVDs at £10 (about $20, 14 euros or Aus$23 each) [plus VAT in the UK I'm afraid - a bore], of which half (£5) goes straight to Wine Relief, the wine-related fundraising initiative for Comic Relief’s thoroughly laudable, extremely well-chosen and carefully-monitored projects in Africa and the UK. We've set post and packaging at £3 for the UK and £5 for outside the UK for every consignment no matter how many copies are ordered in the hope that it will encourage larger orders.
These lightweight gemscome in their own special plastic cases.
