When it comes to wine, many of us know what we like and what we don’t like, but this knowledge is often based on experience rather than on a real understanding of wine. When choosing a new wine, a snoop around the supermarket with half an eye on price is often the main technique used. Instead of that, why not dip into Oz Clarke’s Wine Guide 2001. You may recognise the man from his various TV appearances, but in case you don’t it is worth noting that he is a wine expert with a friendly and humorous way of presenting his subject–and you get to see plenty of videos of him doing just that on this CD.
The CD divides its contents into separate sections. You can learn about how to taste wine: everything from what kind of glass to use–red really does benefit from a large bowl shaped glass–to how to sniff it, and example videos using real wines show Oz Clarke actually performing tastings. A world atlas of wine tells you about how wine is classified, while an encyclopaedia is there for you to look up your favourite tipple. It has over 2000 entries. A section on matching food and wine helps you decide what goes well with what, while if you would like to know more about generalia, from wine labels to grape varieties, there is an “all about wine” section for browsing. Finally, a wine selector allows you to enter variables such as what food you want to eat with your wine, where in the world you want it to come from, and what grape variety you prefer. It will make suitable suggestions.
This is a superbly well-constructed CD ROM: fun to browse and easy to search for specifics, the on-screen design is delightful, and the information content plentiful. –Sandra Vogel

“It’s destiny, fate that brings us together. Redundancy. They just don’t care that your mother used to eat insurance men and that yours was struggling to bring you up nicely as a little poof”. So says Clegg (Peter Sallis) addressing his companions, Compo (Bill Owen) and Blamire (Michael Bates), three fellows getting on in years reunited by unemployment after knowing each other all their lives in a small Yorkshire town. There’s no real story to Last of the Summer Wine, simply the well-observed banter of the central trio and a gallery of eccentric supporting characters. Compo, the irreverent and scruffy “village idiot” and Clegg, the amiable working man are well-loved figures, but the middle-class Conservative Blamire, a nicely rounded portrayal by Bates, may surprise fans expecting to see Foggy (Brian Wilde), who didn’t join the series until 1976. This double-video presents the six episodes of the first series, from 1973, of the longest-running comedy in British television history. It’s a shame the pilot episode which introduced the characters has not been included, and that the credits have been edited out, but this is a reminder of how good Last of the Summer Wine once was, when it was new, fresh and laugh-out-loud funny. –Gary S. Dalkin
