Book Description

December 8, 2000
How can the same grapes make two different wines? Can you tell what a wine tastes like by reading the label? By understanding wine, you can drink better wine. In grocery stores, liquor stores, and at the vineyard, the key to picking a tasty wine is knowing how the wine was made—not by looking at the price. Even the glass you drink wine out of can enhance the experience. With some basic guidance, being a wine connoisseur is as easy as knowing what you like.

  • Introduce your friends to Icewine
  • Happily marry food and wine at your wedding
  • Purchase wine online from private shops
  • Properly taste and describe any wine
