This practical manual offers advice on what to look for in a wine, how to describe and record it, and provides practicalities relating to wine drinking, such as handling, decanting, serving and tasting. The first section covers techniques used in winetasting, such as the smell, look and taste of the wine, and how to record observations. Major varieties of grapes and their wines are explained in the second section of the text, introduced by colour and variety, region and country. The book concludes with a section on handling and decanting, storing and record-keeping, with an index which provides a quick reference identity chart of all grapes used in major wines.
