 Gave as a gift and it was loved. December 14, 2007
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I would recommend this to anyone who loves wine or who wants to know about wine. It also makes a wonderful gift, I gave one as a birthday gift and the person really loved it. It also looks great on a coffee table!
 Not much different than last edition... November 24, 2007
7 out of 11 found this review helpful
As I stated in the review on the 2007 edition, Zraly writes a good beginner book that delivers some good knowledge. The text is rather large as are the diagrams, it seems that this is in an effort to increase the number of pages only.
Pros: good beginner knowledge, great writing style, easy to understand
Cons: lacks depth, lacks polish, generic maps
perfect for any level of interest and knowledge October 31, 2007

I absolutely love this book. Incredibly informative and broken out so that you don't find yourself overwhelmed by all the vast information available in the wine world. I knew a little bit about wine before this book, and my knowledge has increased dramatically after reading this book. This is a must have for anyone with an interest in wine.

I am new in the wine world and I have enjoyed reading the book and look forward to studying it further to broaden my knowledge of wine. Thank you so much.
Zraly uncorks the mysteries of wine. September 24, 2007

Kevin Zraly's Windows on the World Complete Wine Course is considered a classic among amateur grape geeks (like me). The 2007 edition sold over 100,000 copies. Zraly uncorks the mysteries of wine with his trusted "wine course." The comprehensive 2008 update is informative in the areas of wine tasting, selection, regions, and countries (from France to Chile), and also includes recommendations and advice on selecting a wine in an often complex market further complicated by the Internet. While this course may not qualify you to become a sommelier, it will definitely improve your knowledge and credentials as an amateur oeniphile, and should be considered an excellent starting point for any wine connoisseur.
