About the Book

For those looking for a deeper knowledge of this exciting subject, this is a comprehensive guide that aims to provide readers with the confidence and enthusiasm to explore it in-depth for themselves. Country by country and region by region, the author journeys around the world, dropping in on both familiar and more obscure producers. The world's 12 major grape varieties are explored - their aromas and flavours and why and how their characters vary in different soils, climates and wine-making methods. All this is accompanied by vintage and producer recommendations, colour photography and carefully illustrated maps. Also included are tips on storing and serving wine, suggestions for choosing wines to serve with food and tips on glassware and accessories.

About the Author :
Stuart Walton writes on wine for BBC magazines, Wine magazine, and The European. His interest in the subject began when he co-founded a tasting circle at home and went on to pass the Wine & Spirit Education Trust examinations. Having travelled extensively in wine regions, he views developments in the modern wine world with a sharply critical eye and, in order to preserve his independence of judgement, has no commercial interest in the wine trade.

Review :
A glossy, quick tour of the world of wine, this is nevertheless an informative little book cramming more facts within its pages than many larger guides. From France through Europe, across the Atlantic to the Americas and across half the globe to Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, Stuart Walton gives a rundown of the history of wine production, the type of grape grown and the best vintages to look out for. Accompanied by colour photographs and hand-drawn maps, it is an attractive offering for a novice wine lover and a useful aide-memoire for the wine connoisseur. - Lucy Watson
