Everything You Wanted to Know about Wine but Were Too Afraid to Ask

by Tudor Caradoc-Davies, Jean-Pierre Rossouw (Editor), Jonathan Cane (Designer)

Do you know why you should never order the second cheapest wine in a restaurant? Can you tell the difference between syrah and shiraz? How about which wine pairs best with KFC? In a straight shoot-out between wine and beer, do you know which will make you fatter and which one is more likely to get you out of an avalanche?
If you’ve ever had to fake your wine knowledge (like we all have), then Everything you wanted to know about wine but were too afraid to ask is the book for you. A cheat sheet on wine, from tasting to cooking, pairing with food, dealing with snobs, opening bottles with boots and spatulas, collecting and (of course) drinking wine.

Really enjoyable, quirky and humorous take on enjoying wine.
Teaches the basics you need to start enjoying wine between snobs, without becoming a snob or being intimidated by them.
