The Wine Book

Publisher description -- Oz Clarke writes for wine drinkers who want a straightforward, unsnobby approach to wine, who are eager to learn about new and old wines, who require unpretentious advice on the practicalities of tasting, serving and storing wine, and who, last but not least, are enchanted by the romance of the subject and the sheer beauty of the world's great wine locations. The reader is taken on an expertly guided tour of the wine world, covering all the major wine-producing countries.
