Dissappointed
After Wine Spectator, this is really not very good. Got it for about 5 dollars for a year on ebay, and it was worth that (although i didnt renew), but not more. Seems to push their products alot, while Wine Spectator seems to have more depth in their articles.

Cheers!
If you are into wine you might like this magazine. As other reviewers have said , it is not quite up to par with the "Wine Spectator," which means it doesn't have the detail of the other magazine. The layout is simple and convenient to use. Typically there are a few articles on paring wine with food and a concentration or special article dedicated to a particular wine variety. For example, recently in the November 1, 2008 issue, there was extensive coverage dedicated to Malbec, which if you are a wine drinker, know it doesn't get as much publicity as say, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon or Pinot Noir in the red department. This was a nice treat to see the grape made famous by Argentina get it's due respect with an article on the global interest in this variety. The magazine also dedicates nearly half of the issue to a buying guide, rating and highlighting several countries wines with labels and tasting notes and suggested time to drink it. This is very helpful, especially when shopping for a bargain or that special bottle for storage for a special occasion. The color photography, size and laypout make for a first rate experience. To a lesser degree they also givce some attention to spirits but as the title indicates this magazine is about wine. At the special holiday season approaches this magazine is a good one for ideas on wine and food pairing. So,salud and bon appetit!

My Favorite Wine Publication
I happen to work in the wine industry and this is my favorite go to when I want an update or just as a casual read. It's interesting, well written, and not as snobby as some of the others. I find this to be far superior in content and approachability to those that I've read regularly in the past. Their catalog is fantastic as well and I always have a great experience with them.

I definitely recommend this publication!
