Red, White, and Drunk All Over: A Wine Soaked Journey From Grape to Glass by Canadian (& Ottawa area) author Natalie MacLean was chosen Best Wine Literature Book at the Gourmand World Cookbook Awards December 6. The awards are considered the Oscars of the food and wine world. They were created at the Frankfurt Book Fair in Germany ten years ago to reward those who “cook and drink with words.”

MacLean’s book, now a bestseller in Canada, takes readers behind the scenes of the international wine world, exploring its history, visiting its most evocative places and meeting its most charismatic personalities. Red, White, and Drunk All Over was also chosen as one of the Globe & Mail’s top books of the year with strong reviews from both Canadian and U.S. media.
