A Most Incredible Wine Reference Book August 8, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This book is truly incredible and can best be described as an encyclopedia of wine. Printed on 816 pages of fine paper with sporadic full color photographs and pencil drawings, it is atypical of other books on wine. There no novice section, stemware identification guide or chapter on building your own cellar. This is the book you want in you hands to aid in locating those rare areas of production and defining little known terms. Robinson draws on approximately 150 contributors, highly qualified experts in their respective fields, to author select entries.

The Oxford Companion has met our expectations very well. Highly recommended for general information about wine and related topics; this is not a "what wine to buy for tonight" guide.

search anything about wine? it's there. Just great, very accurate and up-to-date. The only disadvantage in my view is that for complete information about some subjects you have to follow refences throughout the book. On the other hand is that a great way to browse it.
In all respects a book worth recommending!
