Quick paced and informal survey of the history of wine
By wineprof on June 26, 2015
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
The author literally skips through the history of wine. Informal, often using slang expressions unknown to Americans it is nevertheless fun and accurate. Each topic is much like a glass of wine, tasty, sharp and fun. Good for students of wine and wine lovers. It was my beach read this week, sorry to see it end!

100 Sips of Oz Clarke
By Cornichon on April 27, 2015
Format: Hardcover
Let's not feel sorry for Oz Clarke, the prolific wine writer. He was faced with a huge challenge: to write the history of wine. But how? Hugh Johnson gave it a shot a quarter century ago; Jancis Robinson has taken up the cudgel as well. How does one organize such a wide and wild field of knowledge? In this volume, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/1454915617/ref=rdr_ext_tmb"><em>The History of Wine in 100 Bottles</em></a> (published Tuesday by Sterling Epicure) Clarke bypasses not only long-winded history and geography but grape varieties as well; in their stead, he tells 100 stories, short bursts of wine-related anecdotes.

Nothing wrong with that; after all, that's what I did in my own book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Home-Grown-Seattle-Tales-Local/dp/0692264361">Home Grown Seattle</a>. The trouble with the "100 stories" format is that some topics will inevitably seem trivial compared to others. "Wine in legend" merits a thoughtful historical essay, yet ends up with exactly the same space as mini-biographies of Robert Parker.and Michael Broadbent. Bag-in-box wines get an entry; David Lett gets an entry for Oregon pinot noir; Chateau Ste. Michelle and Washington State do, too (though Associated Vintners prof Lloyd Woodbourne is identified as Lloyd Woodhouse).

Still, it's a good, breezy read, bouncing briskly from one decade to the next, one continent to another, taking into account forgotten details (Hitler had a collection of half a million bottles, and he didn't even like wine), and embarrassing moments (Rudy Kurniawan's fraudulent bottles). If this were Clarke's first (or only) book, one might hesitate to recommend it. But for those of us whose shelves are already creaking with the classic titles, this is the sort of reference work you want to keep closer at hand.

It's a total gimmick, but it works
By Ursiform on July 3, 2015
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
This book isn't about 100 bottles. It's more like 100 vignettes about wine. "Phoenicia", "Resin and All That", "Corkscrews", "Screw Caps", "Fraud", and many other topics aren't bottles.

The two page format for every topic is not one I like. I think the subject should define the length, rather forcing the subject to fit the length.

Nonetheless, this book reeled me in. I just wanted to keep reading. It's light, it's fluffy, and it's a gimmick. But it's fun.

It works.

By Photocelt on June 22, 2015
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
Terrific collection of historical nuggets that will fill in the big puzzle of the world of wine. Oz Clarke writes in a lively and humorous way and each of the 100 sections is lively and addicting so that you want to read the next one. Lots of interesting photographs and artwork as well. The design is great.

Well done and illustrated.
By Kindle Customer on July 21, 2015
Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase
I have been reading Oz Clarke books for several years now and they do not disappoint . Well-researched and full of timely information and trends. I always finish one of his books and find myself amazed at what I still learn . He's very entertaining in his writing style and honest in his opinions.
