why should I join the Gang?

For unprecedented coverage of wines on UK shelves, from supermarkets to specialist merchants and from everyday bottles to fine wines. Our expert, independent assessments give you the comprehensive, in-depth knowledge you need to help you buy smarter and drink better.

200 wines per month, every month

Each month our report contains at least 200 notes on the most interesting wines we've tasted. The editor of the month gives a personal overview of the tastings and wine issues of the moment.

We also pick our 5 X 5 each month:

• 5 Greatest - the cream of the month's tastings
• 5 Best Value - over-performers for their price
• 5 To Lay Down - serious contenders for your wine collection
• 5 Shockers - pulling no punches, the worst wines of the month
• 5 of the Moment - an ever-changing topical category

the database

Every tasting note we publish is added to our searchable archive. This can be searched by producer, wine name, country, style, retailer, price, date of tasting or score.
