About this listen

Thirsty is more than a wine guide; it’s the story of one man’s lifelong love affair with the great, big beautiful world of wine.

Join Tom as he journeys from French châteaux and English vineyards to the unsung aisles of Sainsbury’s, Majestic and – rest in peace – Oddbins. Along the way, you’ll discover 100 Wine W*nker approved bottles and learn how to:

- read a label (even if you can’t speak the language)
- talk wine without sounding naff
- choose wine in a restaurant
- explain why some wine smells like your granny’s cardigan

'My favourite wine w*nker' Jack Whitehall
'An enormously entertaining read' Spectator
'A full-bodied book that’s really got legs' Mail on Sunday
‘I laughed, learned a bit and lapped up a glass of wine or three' Alan Carr

Critic Reviews

'Finally a wine book that's as moreish as my Malbec. I laughed, learned a bit and lapped up a glass of wine or three' (Alan Carr)
An enormously entertaining read
This engaging book…woven with lots of inspiration for the wannabe wine buff, is a significant achievement
[An] entertaining autobiographical book
Fascinating… There are laugh-out-loud moments, and real excitement and heart in this book… a full-bodied book that’s really got legs
A vibrant memoir-meets-guide bursting with 100 unforgettable wines and even juicier stories behind them
