4.0 out of 5 stars Wine Label Language , September 2, 2005
This is a great little book to have in your collection whether you are an avid wine enthusiast or you only enjoy an occasional glass. I would not name it the best in it's category, but I would definitly say it is amongst the best. It is both comprehensive and easy to understand at the same time.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very basic guide designed to help all levels of reader , November 6, 2004
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
Wine expert Peter Saunders provides a very basic guide designed to help all levels of reader through the potentially confusing wine label in WINE LABEL LANGUAGE. An arrangement by country helps lend quick accessibility to WINE LABEL LANGUAGE, with major wine regions and producers covered from Canada and Chile to South Africa and Germany. There's a major distinction between the descriptions of old-style European wines and newer wines: thus WINE LABEL LANGUAGE is broken down into two distinct sections to reflect this difference, making it easy to absorb.
