 Charles Metcalfe is one of the best-known, most spontaneous and amusing wine
critics in Britain. He presented drinks and occasionally food items for 12 years
as one of the Richard-and-Judy team on the ITV programme, ‘This Morning’, and
was the drinks expert for ‘Taste Today’ on the Taste TV CFW channel. He has
also presented many wine and food programmes on the Granada Breeze satellite
channel.
His recent TV appearances have been as a wine expert on ‘Great Food Live’ and
‘Sunday Lunch Live’ on UK Food (BBC digital TV/Sky TV). He is co-chairman of the
International Wine Challenge, the world’s biggest wine competition, held
annually in London, and was one of the founders of
Wine
INTERNATIONAL
magazine.
You can read Charles regularly in ‘blue Wine’ (if you speak
Portuguese!), and he is the UK correspondent for ‘Wine Business International’,
a trade magazine published in Germany. He is working with his wife, Kathryn
McWhirter, on a book about Portuguese wines, food and places to visit, ‘The Wine
& Food Lover’s Guide to Portugal’. ‘The Wines of Spain & Portugal’, again
co-authored with Kathryn, won the 1989 Glenfiddich Drinks Book of the Year
Award.
Their ‘Sainsbury’s Pocket Food & Wine Guide’, a guide to which
wines to drink with which food, was published in October 1995. They also
co-authored the Wine Guide on the tesco.com web-site. He also acts as a
consultant for restaurant wine lists. |
