Synopsis

(Encyclopedia is the right word for the title of this book, which delves into almost every aspect of wine. Walton first tells you about wine tasting, wine storage and how to find the right wine for your meal, then tells you about grape varieties and the areas of the world where wine is produced. This book is well illustrated, with pictures of the grape varieties themselves, different vineyards/countries and wine labels)

"Quite a rare find, in having the qualities of being both an entertaining read and a decent reference for wine enthusiasts, all explained in friendly layman's terms." (Wine & Spirit Magazine)" --Wine & Spirit Magazine

About the Author:

Stuart Walton writes on wine for BBC magazines, Wine magazine, and The European. His interest in the subject began when he co-founded a tasting circle at home and went on to pass the Wine & Spirit Education Trust examinations. Having travelled extensively in wine regions, he views developments in the modern wine world with a sharply critical eye and, in order to preserve his independence of judgement, has no commercial interest in the wine trade.
