Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Wine But Were Afraid to Ask...
Enjoying wine is a pleasure which has for too long been shrouded in esoteric lore. Wine waiters have traditionally looked down their noses at customers who haven't ordered the "right" bottle and customers are intimidated into paying more than they intended. Even at home, the mythology which surrounds wine appreciation can be a huge obstacle to what should be a perfectly simple, unalloyed pleasure.
Matthew Jukes is here to change all that.
Here, at last, is a wine book for the ordinary punter who would love to know more about this amazing drink, but could do without the grief. Learn how to make the most of the wine you buy simply by knowing what to look for on the label. Find out about the differences between grape varieties and the methods for making wine around the world. Discover how to give that sommelier a run for his money next time you're out for dinner. Above all, read this book and you will better appreciate the taste of wine and enjoy drinking it even more.
Sit back, relax, and prepare for the mysteries of wine to be uncorked...
