Joanna Simon is The Sunday Times wine writer and an international competition judge. She contributes to Decanter and a magnum of other publications and is a former editor of
both Wine & Spirit and Wine. Her books include Wine An Introduction, Discovering Wine, and Wine with Food (which involved years of strenuous eating and drinking). She presented the
