Among the tales of convivial drinking and anecdotes involving Winston Churchill and WG Grace, the author paints a vivid picture of a pre-war (and pre-phylloxera) wine world whose horizons were about to expand beyond all imagining.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eWayward Tendrils of the Vine\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e, though, is much more than a collection of reminiscences.

During the First World War he served on the Western Front with the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, reaching the rank of Lieutenant Colonel. Following his retirement from the Army in 1929, Campbell became a wine shipper and was twice chair of the Wine and Spirit Association, where he spent much of his time fighting government tax increases. Wayward Tendrils is the first and most famous of his two wine-related memoirs. He died in Chesham, Bucks in 1954 at the age of 83. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"OvtS8d\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"NQSJo\" id=\"ow13\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCe produit n'est pas disponible\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e?
