The British wine author and wine importer David Peppercorn M.W. (*1931) earned a reputation as a Bordeaux-specialist through many tasting notes starting from the 1950s. The wine author Frank J. Prial Frank referred to Peppercorn as "one of the leading authorities in England regarding Bordeaux." Peppercorn is married to the wine author Serena Sutcliffe Serena M.W., who, like him, holds the title of Masters of Wine. They were the first MW couple, she being only the second MW woman. Peppercorn authored the books Bordeaux, The Wines of Bordeaux, The Simon & Schuster Pocket Guide to the Wines of Bordeaux, Mouton-Rothschild 1945, The Wine To End All Wars, and Great Vineyards and Winemakers. He was awarded the title of Chevalier dans l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres by the French Ministry of Culture.

Serious sources on the internet are rare - and Wine lexicon from wein.plus is one such source. When researching for my articles, I regularly consult the wein.plus encyclopaedia. There I get reliable and detailed information.
