Description


Acknowledging how today's wine sales and consumption are far outpacing those of beer and spirits, this examination addresses questions commonly asked by the novice and experienced oenophile alike. Using short anecdotes with a dash of humor to present intriguing facts about wine, this consideration also debunks many popular myths such as why one shouldn't disturb fermenting wine during a full moon and the popular causes for headaches after partaking in red wine. Authoritative and entertaining, this guide covers winemaking, wine service, styles, faults, frauds, and even the "wine-speak" of the art's scientific terminology. Recognizing that wine drinkers are becoming increasingly sophisticated and knowledgeable, this study also evaluates the beverage's impact on health, making it a must-have for all connoisseurs.
