What's Wrong With George?

Malcolm Gluck (author)

If you can’t trust your senses, what’s left to believe?George is a celebrated wine writer whose authority rests on taste, nuance, and control. When an act of shocking brutality enters his life, that control disintegrates. His family begins to slip beyond his reach, and reality itself seems to tilt.

As his relationship with wine and the truth becomes increasingly unstable, George is confronted with an unsettling paradox: can someone who no longer trusts his own senses still interpret the world for others? Darkly ironic and psychologically acute, this is a novel about perception, identity, and the fragile boundary between expertise and delusion.

Malcolm Gluck has been writing about wine for 25 years, including a 16-year tenure as the Guardian's wine correspondent. He is the author of 36 books about wine and has been writing novels all his life. His first four fiction titles debut in September 2026.
