Tom Surgey: How To Drink Wine
Tom Surgey: How To Drink Wine
Join Tom Surgey, Philip Amps from Amps Wine Merchants, and Helen Shair from Authors In Oundle for an informative, fun-filled evening with wine to taste, enjoy, and discuss.
From grape to glass, Tom’s book is a readable and charismatic guide that will teach you everything you need to know to enjoy wine.
Wine is one of the most popular drinks around the globe. It brings people together and has a rich social and cultural history; it’s also astoundingly delicious. But it can also be intimidating, confusing, and unnecessarily complicated. It can be hard to know where to start: How is wine made? What’s the difference between red and white? How do I know what to buy in a shop? Am I holding my glass correctly?
In this modern, accessible, warm and funny introduction to wine, Tom Surgey answers all these questions and more, doing away with old-school snobbery and teaching you how to get the most out of your favourite drink.
Tom is regarded as one of the industry’s best and most engaging live performers. He was shortlisted for the IWSC Wine Communicator of the Year Award in both 2023 & 2025.
Tom has been featured on Love Your Weekend with Alan Titchmarsh, This Morning, Saturday Kitchen, as well as at various food events, talks, and festivals across the country.
Tom is the co-founder of the not-for-profit and charitable foundation Table Talk Sussex, which puts chefs in primary schools to teach food education.
