Who this edition suits

Best for: A wine reader who wants a second sustained treatment.

Liddell combines history, grape varieties, winemaking and producers. It is a useful counterpoint to Mayson rather than a necessary duplicate for a casual reader.

Consider: The listed revision is from 2014; verify current commercial details elsewhere.

This is selection guidance based on the listed edition and stated scope, not a claim of a first-hand test. Verify the edition before buying.
