Synopsis

Kevin Zraly is America's ultimate wine educator. His fun, exciting teaching style has made this must-have book a treasured favourite for more than three decades. He demystifies and clearly explains every aspect of wine: grape varieties; winemaking techniques; different types and styles of wine; how to read a wine label; and even the physiology of smell and taste. From the renowned reds of Bordeaux and California to the trail-blazing whites of Washington State and New Zealand, this essential volume features maps of each region, lush photographs, a wealth of infographics, the best-value wines for each country; hundreds of labels to help you find the right wines; and guided tastings. It also includes the latest vintages to savour, comprehensive notes on food pairings, frequently asked questions and quizzes to test your knowledge. This newly revised and expanded edition introduces new classes for the first time - South America, Australia and New Zealand, sparkling wine, fortified wine - and includes information on cutting-edge trends (rosé, Prosecco), emerging wine regions (India, China) and much more. This book will give readers all the tools they need to discover and enjoy the perfect wine.
