Uncorked: A Quick and Easy Guide to Wine

by Ashley Smith

Do you want to learn about wine in a few hours or less? This wine guide, written by a Certified Sommelier, is for the everyday wine consumer. It will help you learn about the popular types of wine and will guide you on how to decide which wines you like. Once you know what you like, it is much easier to buy wine at the store or order it at a restaurant. Meant to be read in a few hours or less, this straightforward guide does not contain chapters on the winemaking process or discuss the different soil types in each region. Instead, the information is broken down to what the average wine consumer needs to basic wine facts, typical wines seen on the shelves or in a menu, tasting techniques that will build your palate, an example wine menu that shows what to look for when ordering, information on French and Italian wines, and the rules to follow when pairing wine with food.
