From the founder“A good crisp deserves the same attention as a good glass of wine. Usually, it gets a lot less.”
The Academy started as an argument between friends about the best crisp in Britain. Nobody won, so I kept tasting. These days there are tasting notes on the backs of receipts and a cupboard that is mostly packets.
This is where it all gets written down: honest reviews, my all-time favourites and the wines that go with them.
