About Nicholas Faith
Once upon a time Nicholas Faith was a respectable financial journalist on The Economist and the (pre-Murdoch) Sunday Times. Then he became fascinated by the Bordeaux wine trade and wrote The Winemasters. Winning the André Simon award merely encouraged him in a 30-year love-hate relationship which spawned books on little-known estates like Latour and Margaux and editorship of a posh – if unprofitable – French wine magazine, L'Amateur de Bordeaux. To make matters worse a friend moved to Cognac which involved yet another book on the greatest of brandies and even a second edition, which got another André Simon. One trip to Australia was enough to trigger a book (Liquid Gold) about the story of wine in Australia, which the local journos hated because I was a Pom.
