Felix Hart, a tragic orphan, is expelled from school, cast onto the British high street, & forced to make his way in the cut-throat world of wine retailing. Thanks to a positive mental attitude, he is soon forging a promising career, his sensual adventures taking him to the vineyards of Italy, South Africa, Bulgaria & Kent. His path to the summit is littered with obstacles, however. Petty office politics, psychotic managers & the British Board of Wine & Liquor prove challenging enough. But when Felix negotiates the world`s biggest Asti Spumante deal, he bites off more than he can chew & is plunged into a terrifying world of Mafiosi, people smuggling & ruthless multinationals. Part thriller, part self-help manual & part drinking companion, Corkscrew is a coruscating critique of neo-liberal capitalism, religious intolerance & the perils of blind tasting. ” An astonishing debut. Bed-wettingly funny.”
- The Little Chalfont Gazette ” Not suitable for young adults. Or most old ones, frankly.”
- Buckinghamshire Bookworm Monthly ”A wholly inappropriate gift for any wine lover.”

Robert V. Camuto`s interest in wine turned into a passion when he moved to France & began digging into local soils & cellars. ” Corkscrewed” recounts Camuto`s journey through France`s myriad regions
- & how the journey profoundly changed everything he believed about wine. The world of great wines was once dominated by great Bordeaux chateaux. As those chateaux were bought up by moguls & international corporations, the heart of French winemaking shifted to the realm of small producers, whose wines reflect the stunning diversity of regional environment, soil, & culture-terroir. In this book we follow Camuto across France as he works harvesting grapes in Alsace, learns about wine & bombs in Corsica, & eats & drinks his way through the world`s greatest bacchanalia in Burgundy. Along the route he discovers a new generation of winemakers who have rejected chemicals, additives, & technologically altered wines. His book charts an odyssey into this new world of French wine, a world of biodynamic winegrowing, herbal treatments, lunar cycles, & grape varieties long ago dismissed as `difficult`. Camuto`s work is a delightful look beyond the supermarket into the kaleidoscopic world of flavours offered by the true vintners of France.

In 2006, UNESCO designated Cornwall & West Devon Mining Landscape a World Heritage Site. In the eighteenth century, Cornwall was one of the country`s principal industrial areas. Before the late 1870s, it produced more tin than any other region in the world, & in the early nineteenth century its output of copper was two-thirds of world production. The remains of the mines contribute to a distinctive cultural landscape; more than 200 engine houses survive
- the largest concentration of such monuments in the world. This book, & its companion Cornish Mines: St Just to Redruth, is a guide to the best examples of the surviving mines, with stunning photographs & authoritative text.
