This book is a detailed introduction to the fruit of the grape, how and where it is grown, made, drunk and bought, and how and when it should be appreciated or stores for future appreciation. All this and more is presented in an attractive, fact-filled large-format guide written by an eminently qualified author and internationally acclaimed wine expert.
The authoritative text is enhanced by high-quality full-colour photography, as well as specially commissioned full-colour illustrations to explain, among other things, the production of wine. The result is a fascinating and educational overview of an age-old industry that continues to surprise us with its capacity for innovation and improvement.
