First broadcast between 1982 and 2002, it was the first national television programme in the UK to cover the subject of food and drink without cookery and recipe demonstrations.
The first series was presented by Simon Bates and Gillian Miles, and introduced Jilly Goolden in her first regular television appearances as the programme's wine expert.
Russell Harty presented filmed location reports from exceptional restaurants around Britain.
This series featured the innovative idea of a small contributing audience of 20 people who were called "tasters and testers".
Later series were presented by Chris Kelly and chef Michael Barry with wine experts Jilly Goolden and Oz Clarke.
