A great beginner's guide to all the different aspects of wine. I really enjoyed this book because most of the books on wine are so encyclopedic that it is difficult just to get an overview to find out where I want to go next.
This book is great for just the basics, so you can more intelligently find your way through a wine store or order off of a menu.
And what's even better, leaves you open to the idea of searching out other books on specific types or regions that you want to explore.

Nice little pocket size book with easy to remember tips on wine and the art of wine tasting. Although it's not very comprehensive, it has enough basic information for the amateur wine taster to understand the difference between various grapes, know about the major grape producing regions, learn how wine is made, how to open, prepare and pour wine, as well as tips on purchasing and storing.

Great little book! Some of the information was review, some was information I knew but broken down into simpler language and some of the tips were brand new information. I would recommend this to anyone interested in wine, especially beginners.
