• Hugh Johnson
  ‘At what level you start getting your claret kick is a personal thing’
• Elaine Chukan Brown
  ‘While I’ve had sake and mead worth talking about, I wouldn’t call either fine wine’
• WINTER PARTY WINES 25 at £20 or under
  Just in time for the festive season, members of the Decanter in-house tasting team have been rushing around to many supermarket and merchant tastings, on the hunt for wines that punch above their weight, at all price levels.
• NV redefined
  A singular house style has always been the calling card of Champagne producers’ non-vintage bottlings, but now it is ‘multi-vintage’ blends and their changing character in successive years that’s beginning to take centre-stage
• 10 reasons to REDISCOVER LANGUEDOC
  Decanter’s Regional Editor for Languedoc has spent a lot of time in the southern French wine region over the past year, and has been bowled over by the quality on offer. Here she gives us 10 of many good reasons to look at its terroirs, estates and wines through fresh eyes
• Weingut Willi Schaefer
  The Schaefers are a true Mosel Riesling winemaking dynasty – local documents date the family’s involvement in vineyards back at least as far as 1590. Today it’s Christoph Schaefer running the show
• Lebanon’s NEW WAVE
  The strong contingent of innovative producers and determined young talent in this mountainous nation of the eastern Mediterranean are placing an increasing focus on the identity and flavours of their historic local grape varieties
• Paso Robles 2021
  Focusing in on this diverse region in California’s Central Coast, 2021 tells a story of challenging weather conditions, with drought continuing from the previous year. Yet where vineyards were managed successfully, the resulting quality is being rated as among the best of recent times
• ONTARIO CHARDONNAY
  There’s more to eastern Canada than maple syrup, ice hockey and endless frozen winters. And while the latter helps with icewine, that’s not what’s causing a buzz. If you love cool-climate Chardonnay with a real sense of place, then don’t think Burgundy, think Ontario
• THE BEST AFTER-DINNER DRINKS
  Don’t let a special meal end on a low note. From dark spirits to liqueurs, cocktails and fortified wines, a decadent digestive makes the perfect finishing touch
• A wine lover’s guide
  Strike out to the western French department of Charente, a region carved by a winding river, dotted with châteaux and rich with opportunities to experience the most illustrious of French spirits
• Onglet steak with green peppercorn sauce
  The classic flavours of piquant peppercorns in a creamy, brandy-rich sauce go amazingly well with melt-in-the-mouth steak. Together they can find a more surprising match in a cool-climate Chardonnay – just perfect for cutting through the richness

  Our regular learning section helps you get more from your glass

• PINOT NOIR – AMERICAS
  The premium level, £30 plus, is where Pinot really gets into its quality stride. Here is the first of our two reports on an impressive New World tasting
• Galician whites
  Spain’s Atlantic-influenced northwestern region is home to a range of grape varieties you may or may not know. Our judges found plenty to enjoy
• Moulis & Listrac
  They may not hog the headlines in the way that Bordeaux’s glitzier sub-regions do, but these twin appellations on the Left Bank are home to many reliably excellent and top-value clarets
