Customer Reviews
Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Best ever wine book
Have been buying books about wine for 25 years. This is one of the best books I have read for a long time. Very good for first timers, read the section on wine types etc. Excellent reviews of the worlds wine regions for those with more knowledge. In all an excellent book.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A New Interest!
One-line summary - A new interest
My husband is more interested in wine than myself, but the Essential Wine Book is more than just about drinking wine.  It gives you a real feel for the regions you read about - it makes you want to go there. The climates and areas are described in such a way that you can tell the writer not only loves wine, but life itself.  On top of that, it has also kindled for me an interest in wine itself.  I knew that it took hard work to produce it, but I did not realise that so much dedication and thought was involved, nor how complicated some of the rules and regulations surrounding production were.  The advice to consumers was especially good.


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - ...engaging and easy to read.
Getting your hands on wine books that don't condescend on the one hand, or blind you with science on the other, isn't as easy as it should be. To its credit, this book walks that thin line with chutzpah. Oz Clarke's writing is engaging and easy to read. The book covers the major wine producing regions, country-by-country, and region-by-region, with information on grape varieties, classification, vintages, how to read wine labels and, importantly, what the wines from that region actually taste like. Sadly, though, the design of the book is looking distinctly 1980s with dull typography and bland coloured panels.
