Tim Atkin’s Observer column slashed
Tim Atkin MW’s weekly column in Sunday newspaper the Observer will be radically reduced from the end of this month.
The popular page, which Atkin has written since 1993, will go down to three wine recommendations a week.
Atkin (pictured) will continue to have a presence in the paper’s colour magazine Observer Food Monthly.
Atkin is one of the UK’s best-known wine writers, with a clutch of awards to his name, including 2009 Louis Roederer International Wine Columnist of the Year and five Glenfiddich Awards. He has won Champagne Lanson Wine Writer of the Year four times.
He writes frequently for Decanter.
He told decanter.com, ‘I am sad that The Observer has decided to reduce the scope of its wine coverage at a time when people need reliable advice more than ever. I will miss the challenge of writing what was (I hope) an engaging, informed and entertaining piece each week.’
