It's 1989 - a time when Liebfraumilch, Black Forest gateau and avocado bathrooms are all the rage, and nobody uses mobile phones.
When Julie Stanton moves in with Richard Webb one Saturday night in May, everything is looking rosy. She certainly doesn't expect their romantic evening together to end with her walking out of the flat clutching the bottle of wine with which they were to toast their new relationship.
But then Julie and the wine part company, and the bottle takes the reader on a journey through a series of events revealing love, laughter and conflict.
Originally from London, Surrey-based author, Jacquelynn Luben has published two successful non-fiction books and many articles, but is equally at home with fiction, having written numerous short stories. Coming late into further education, she gained a degree from Surrey University in 2002, with a dissertation on the Harry Potter series.

Reviews
'A Bottle of Plonk is branded as a fun, light novel, but this description doesn't entirely do it justice. The world of A Bottle of Plonk is one where divorce, homosexuality and having children out of wedlock are still shrouded in stigma, and in which the concept of the 'career woman' is a rather sore point for many of the characters ... Luben proves herself to be a sensitive and pithy new novelist.' [Sophia Furber, Editor, London Student Newspaper]
