The Platters have topped the South African best-seller lists for more than twenty years with their phenomenally successful wine guide known simply as 'Platter'.
With a foreword by Hugh Johnson, 'Africa Uncorked' is a unique safari through a dozen wine-producing countries. Sniffing, spitting and swallowing their way through Africa from top to toe, the Platters follow the wine trail from Ethiopia, Egypt, Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco through Kenya and Tanzania, right down to Zimbabwe, South Africa, Madagascar, Reunion and Mauritius.
Turning off the beaten track, 'Africa Uncorked' carves out its own quirky road, illuminating fascinating wines, food, people and places along the way. John and Erica Platter made brilliant (as well as far from brilliant) wine discoveries, stumbled across extraordinary and virtually unknown historical sites, met the most illuminating characters, visited areas which have been no-go zones for foreigners for decades and seen a country’s past and future reflected in a glass.
This amazing journey is graphically captured in Africa Uncorked: the most original wine book to be published in years.
