About the Author

DAVID BIRD trained as an analytical chemist and entered the food manufacturing business as an analyst working with baby foods, mustard and fruit squashes. He moved into the wine trade in 1973 almost by chance, but in reality because a passion for wine was already developing. 1981 was his vintage year, becoming a Master of Wine and a Chartered Chemist. He specialises in quality assurance techniques, such as ISO 9000 and HACCP, and has been involved with wine activities and education in France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Hungary, Denmark, Finland, Sweden, Norway, the Netherlands, Ukraine, Moldova, Russia, China, Algeria, Australia, Scotland, Ireland and England. He has been on the panel of judges for the Mercian Vineyards Association, the national panel for the English and Welsh Wine Awards, the Decanter World Wine Awards and the Hungarian Balaton Awards. He plays the organ and is Musical Director of the Cantate choir. His garden is open to the public once a year for charity under the National Gardens Scheme of the UK.
