Wine & Spirits Sites
Wine & Spirits Magazine: The Practical Guide to Wine
Wine & Spirits is distinctly different from other wine magazines in that they focus more on the substance of wine than on style. Rather than report on wine as fashion in the context of the "lifestyles of the rich and famous," they concentrate instead on the ways in which wine might fit into a normal life, well-lived. They strive to arm their readers with real information about brands, regions, and "buzz", which helps any level of wine enthusiast develop the skills needed to think (and drink!) for themselves. In short-Wine & Spirits actually writes about wine. No hidden agendas, no favors for advertising. Just honest journalism for those who love wine. We think they're doing one heck of a job!
