If you are prepared to deal with lots of awkward grammar, verbiage, and sloppy errors, you might like this. Myself, I found it disconcerting. Such as, "the earliest proof of wine production on a commercial scale comes was found in Phoenicea around 3000 BC". Comes was found? Around 3000 BC? Didn't know we had records of what people found back in 3000 BC. And the REPEATED use of the word "drunk", instead of drink, drank, drinking, etc. It was annoying. As far as the actual information regarding wine, it was not very good. You could probably get more info by reading the labels on the bottles themselves. There's a lot better books about wine, do yourself a favor and read them instead!
The writing here was OK-ish. I don't have enough knowledge to tell you if the information was accurate. However, some of the writing was a bit awkward and definitely not entertaining.
I read halfway through and the thing that made me decide to stop reading was the lack of actual helpful illustrations--it's all words. Imagine learning about the parts of the wine glass and different types of wine glasses without being able to see the parts or glasses labeled. Or discussing different regions where wine is made without a map to show them. Or a comparison of sweetness and dryness or alcohol level of the same variety of wine without a chart to easily see the comparisons.
Whenever you're learning about something new, it's nice to have some resources that you can go back to to aid you in what you are learning. However, this book is not that. This book was seems written merely so that the author could put a book under his belt, not so that the reader could glean new and meaningful knowledge. I found this book, in a word, lazy. And the title? "Everything?" Even those ignorant about wine should know that no book of this length is going to have everything. The author frequently admits there's a lot he isn't covering.
If you really want to learn about wine, then find a different book.
The information in this book was solid. The writing was terrible. Here's an example "When asked whether price comes into a factor, it was undisputed that aspect as to determine whether a particular wine can be classified as a 'fine wine'." There were also whole chapters that basically just repeated information from other parts of the book.
This is honestly one of the most poorly written books I’ve ever read. Full of misspellings, poor grammar, and editing errors. The information isn’t terrible, but it DOES make for a terrible reading experience.
Interesting facts, pretty useful information and good advices. A basic book to have an idea of the wine world, most important thing.. to enjoy the wine..
