Publisher's Synopsis
The huge variety of wines now available in supermarkets and off-licences can be baffling even to those with some knowledge of wines. Varieties from all corners of the world compete for shelf-space, and within each region a profusion of grape varieties and blends produces a vast array of quite different drinks. In this revised edition, the presenter of BBC 2's "Food and Drink" series helps readers to break through the mysteries of wine lore, and aims to provide a region-by-region and grape-by-grape appreciation of the wines of the world.
