From Booklist

Many oenophiles find themselves stumped when it comes to proper pronunciation of names of even familiar wines. How to Pronounce French, German, and Italian Wine Names offers a simple approach to this problem. Bellucci's carefully crafted pronunciations are easy to follow, and only the strictest linguists will quibble with her results. Her phonetic approaches to French's accents and uniquely pronounced consonants give good approximations of the originals, and she has helpful suggestions for dealing with German's umlauts. Although not noted in the book's title, there are tables of Spanish and Portuguese wine words as well. The comprehensive lists of chateaus, personal names, and grape varieties make this a very helpful addition to any reference collection of books on wine. Mark Knoblauch

From the Publisher

FROM THE PUBLISHER Both casual wine drinkers and more serious wine connoisseurs often stumble over the correct pronunciation of various international wine names. Now, with the help of Diana Bellucci's HOW TO PRONOUNCE FRENCH, GERMAN, AND ITALIAN WINE NAMES, even the most linguistically-challenged person can quickly and painlessly reference the proper wine pronunciation without having to learn international languages, and can concentrate on any curriculum or conversation at hand.

Using the proven Bellucci MethodTM, with (Quietics)TM, readers learn the proper phonetic pronunciation of more than 15,000 wine names, terms, regions, and grape varieties in five different languages- French, German, Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese. With the help of professional language teachers trained in the Bellucci MethodTM, mastering the difficult phonetics of the French Nasal n, the German umlaut, and the Spanish rolling r has never been easier.

This innovative approach to language is sure to keep the sour note of mispronunciation from spoiling many a good bottle of wine.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING "For the American wine lover who may have a French wine one night, a Spanish wine the next, and an Italian wine on the third, pronouncing wine names correctly is not just a matter of accuracy, it’s a way of being comfortable with the wines you drink. This is one of the best and most effective methods I’ve seen on the subject." -Karen MacNeil, author of The Wine Bible

"I found Bellucci’s book very informative and an excellent tool in breaking down the barriers of intimidation for wine lovers. This is an articulate guide to the sounds of wine, from vineyard to glass. I know I'll keep my copy within arms length." -Joe Borrello, Executive Director, Tasters Guild International and author of Ask The Wine Guy

This review is from: How To Pronounce French, German, and Italian Wine Names (Paperback)
Diana Belucci's newest reference title isn't just a another dictionary of pronunciation as might be anticipated: rather, How To Pronounce French, German And Italian Wine Names creates and presents a complete method of learning pronunciation to provide keys to the phonetic pronunciation of over 15,000 wine terms, regions, and grape varieties in five different languages. How To Pronounce French, German And Italian Wine Names could've appeared in our 'Literary' or 'Languages' section but deserves mention here for its in-depth interest to wine buffs.
