After practising as an architect in his early career, Stewart Wilde changed tack and followed his passion, wine. Working in the UK wine trade for several years, he acquired and nurtured an intimate knowledge of the vineyards of England and Wales. He has become personally acquainted with many of the growers and makers who have contributed so much to the spectacular rise of British sparkling wine over the past decade. When he can be tempted away from the wine-growing regions of the UK, Stewart spends his time exploring vineyards further afield, from Sicily to Uruguay, Portugal to New Zealand.
'I loved that there was so much information in the book from grape information such grape variety, directions to the vineyards with maps as well as opening times. The book is almost like a wine guide whereby you can either physically head to the locations to tour the vineyards or use it as a wine guide to try out the different wines from the comfort of your home.' www.yeahlifestyle.com, June 2019
