About the Book

It includes information about where wines come from, how to taste wines and how to pair wines with food, as well as information about up-and-coming wine producers, information about the latest types of wine and tips for finding inexpensive but still enjoyable wines. Updates include which wine regions are hot (and not as hot), new information about shipping wine across state lines, and new information about screwcaps, which are now being used by a sizeable number of winemakers around the world. Vintages, prices and website information have been brought up to date as well.
