It's all there August 16, 2008
I would recommend this for anyone interested in wine from the novice to Robert Parker (I'm betting he has a copy). Four friends have purchased this book after looking at mine.
 Great Encyclopedia July 29, 2008
The Oxford Companion to Wine is a great encyclopedia for wine lovers. It covers a great breadth of topics, deeply enough to be informative, but in a short enough fashion to keep this under 1000 pages. Coverage includes wine growing regions, wines, vine varietals, wine making, barrel making, bacteria, and on and on.
One thing this is not - it's not a review/criticism of specific wines (which tend to become out of date too quickly to be useful in book form).
Highly recommended.
It must be great April 28, 2008
Along with most of the reviewers here, my wine-knowledgeable friends, to whom I gave this book as a wedding anniversary present, were extraordinarily pleased. They tell me that they learn something new from it every day, and that it has "everything about wine" within its covers.
Value for Money February 19, 2008
I have been working in the wine industry for many years and I have never come across a more complete reference book. It is worth every cent.The Oxford Companion to Wine, 3rd Edition
Wine books January 14, 2008
The Oxford Companion to Wine is one of the best books about wine that I have seen.
