"If you consider yourself a wine collector (or are looking for a gift idea for someone who is), you owe it to yourself to check out The World of Fine Wine magazine...It's very content-rich (216 pages in the latest issue) with in-depth articles on a broad range of topics and only a handful of advertisements"

Steve Bachmann, CEO of Vinfolio

"The World of Fine Wine is by far the best wine magazine in the world. It's scholarly, opinionated, well written and a delight to read. It's also the only magazine I bother to keep. I come back to individual pieces again and again for enlightenment and entertainment. In these days of simple answers, scores out of 100 and branded pap, The World of Fine Wine stands out as a publication that dares to take wine seriously."

Tim Atkin MW

Wine correspondent of The Observer, UK

"Could it be true that such an intelligent magazine actually exists in this day and age? I keep expecting the bubble to burst, but it hasn’t yet."

Mark Solms, neuroscientist and winery owner
