Paul O'Doherty is a Dublin-based journalist and broadcaster who, every year between December and January, gives our readers the low-down on wine books published during the previous year. He seems to have mellowed and 2013 seems to be the year of glowing reviews. Readers will be spoilt for choice. Click on the links below, most recently published collections of reviews first, to help you decide before you buy.

Because we believe that it's important to support good wine writing in every way possible, we've now made these reviews free for all. Get reading!
