'Choice' Selects 398 of the Best Value Wines Australia Drinks.
Seasoned wineophiles and novices alike will appreciate this guide. It includes a score out of 20 and taster's notes for each wine. From a panel of 17, each wine was tasted by at least four experts in the Australian wine industry - winemakers, retailers, educators and consultants - bringing a true range of experience and expectation to the process. The tests were conducted "blind" so tasters did not know which wine they were tasting.
The book also debunks some commonly held beliefs about wine. The special recommendations section features a vintner's dozen (14) wines considered great value and great quality. No boutique or difficult-to-find wines were tested, so most of them will be found at the local bottle shop.
There are also chapters on wine and health, storing wines and the basics of wine tasting.
