"This truly is professional grade. I've collected wine labels for about 8 years now and have many journals. This one is lovely - library quality, not a lot of wasted space - one page per wine and label. Poignant quotes at the bottom of each page, nice dictionary in the back. "

I bought this item for a friend who is an amateur wine enthusiast. I'm a wine phillistine so was concerned about the relative sophistication of this journal. My friend received it with enthusiasm and said the fields offered on the pages (such as color, vintage, served with, etc) included everything one expects from a good wine journal. The journal is also a great starting point for a wine enthusiast who is interested in taking a level 2 class that requires a journal be kept for 50 wines. This one has space for 72 wines and is more than sufficient for that purpose.

The volume itself is very handsome. The cover's color is rich, the material high-quality, and the construction and paper are top-notch. I can't imagine anyone not wanting to display this volume near their wine rack or on their coffee table.

Beyond the fill-in fields, the pages include amusing quotations about wine on the bottom, a space for affixing the bottle's labels to the pages, and a generous glossary of terms in the back.

In short, if you're shopping for a wine snob and think buying yet another bottle of wine for him is unimaginative, this item is a thoughtful, must-have accessory that almost any wine lover will use at some point. And let me offer this helpful hint: To remove the labels, finish the wine and then fill the bottle with boiling water and let sit for a minute. This will melt the glue and make removing the label painless. (It took a few trials of brute force, steam, and razorblades to figure this method out.)

I have recently become a wine enthusiest. Having this Wine Journal is proving to be invaluable. I can now keep track of the wines I like and look back to see the wines I have enjoyed and the memories of the event. There is lots of room to write about the wine. It looks good on my coffee table too. I would even get this as a gift for my friends.

It is a great book for people who want to put in lots of detail and my dad loves it. But it would be nice if it had more pages.

Got this for a friend who loves to collect Italian wines along with the label removers - great Christmas gift. Lovely quality.

I looked at the pages of several wine journals and this one had the nicest format. The cover is really nice for the price, and I love that it has a ribbon attached to use as a page marker. Nice index of wine terms in the back too.
Very happy with this ... used it as a gift and got one for myself too!

Thank you so much! I love this wine journal~ perfect! Fast shipping, excellent condition! Cheers!
