"As a paperback, your correspondents weren't quite sure if this qualified as a "coffee table book," but ultimately the prospect of an idiot-proof infographic guide to the traditionally flowery world of wine description triumphed over our concerns over cover rigidity. User friendly, intuitive and most importantly, designed to have you navigating even the most intimidating wine list like a champ in no time." --Inside Hook
