Hello Henry. Big fan of le Carré so will check this out (and also Jeremy Duns - thanks for the heads up). If I were looking to launch my book sales into orbit I would either chose someone who has significant traction with people who like wine eg Helen McGinn or Olly Smith. Or go down a different route and tap into female chefs eg Lisa Goodwin-Allen, Sarah Hayward, Angela Hartnett who have big followings. Failing that maybe an English female writer like Dolly Alderton (who is a wine lover). It feels a bit obvious going for a female wine journal/critic like Tam Currin and Young Shi (at Jancisrobinson.com) but I guess it depends on who you audience is for the book... Best of luck
