Halliday's Wine Companion is eagerly aniticpated each year by the industry and wine-lovers alike. It's recognised nationally as the industry benchmark and for this year's edition over 8,900 wines were tasted by James Halliday and his expert panel.
Our last winner of the Halliday Wine Companion 2016 told us she's learnt a lot and believes it will be a valuable asset for her future winery tour planning.

Her full verdict was "it’s wonderful. I am a simple wine drinker who had never seen the book before, though I had heard of it. I found the book full of interesting, fascinating, helpful facts. I have spent hours reading it. I have learnt a lot and I know it will be a useful asset in future winery tours.  It’s my new coffee table book! The rest of the family and friends are constantly picking it up for a look."

It's true, whatever level your wine knowledge starts at, it's certain to increase with Mr Halliday in hand!

The latest edition is literally a bumper edition, full of tasting notes, winery profiles, best of awards plus input from Campbell Mattinson and Tyson Stelzer and much more.
If you like wine, it really should be on your bookshelf and here's you chance to win one of two copies this month!

This year over 8,900 wines have been tasted so you know the hard work's been done for you! Just over 3,500 made the grade and are included with full tasting notes and there are ratings, drink-to dates and prices for a further 2,600+. But that's not all...

Behind the luscious red cover lurk many more features, ready to leap out and raise your wine knowledge that bit further! Here's a taste of the contents:
