Wine from Grape to Glass

Om boken

An updated edition of the classic guide to the wines of the world—and how they are made.

Wine from Grape to Glass is the essential guidebook for wine lovers who want to understand how their favourite wines are grown, how they are produced, and how best to savour them. The first half of the book is devoted to the process of wine making and wine appreciation. The mysteries of the vineyard and terroir, the grape harvest, fermentation, and aging are all explained in full, as are the intricacies of serving, tasting, and storing wine. The second half of the book examines the best wines of the world, country by country, in a level of detail that is satisfying without being overwhelming. More than one thousand colour illustrations, including numerous maps, make this a visual as well as a textual guide.

This fifth edition of Wine from Grape to Glass is revised and updated throughout. It includes the latest information on varietals and wine making regions around the globe, as well as new sections on subjects like the world’s most coveted wines and how to interpret today’s wine labels.
