The Ultimate Wine Book. A must for all winelovers! November 21, 1998
16 out of 16 found this review helpful
This complete and encyclopedic reference to all things wine has been written by hundreds of experts. The entries are enjoyable to read and extremely informative. Do you want to know where that obscure appelation is? What is the chemistry of wine as it ages? Almost anything you can think of is here.

This behemoth covers "A"bboccato to "Z"infandel (actually Zweigelt) and every facet in between. As multi-layered as a fine wine itself, the OCTW is one reference you will neither tire of nor outgrow.

This book contains definitions and explanations to virtually every aspect of wine; from basic definitions of common wine verbiage to in-depth explanations of processes, micro-climates, geography, history, etc. It also looks good on your bookshelf.

This huge volume will make your bookshelf sag in the middle, and you'll have a heck of a time reading it in bed. But if you're ready to move on to serious wine appreciation, it's a must-have, a truly magisterial volume that covers the world of wine in a thorough, accurate and readable fashion
