181.Vines, Grapes and Wines: The Wine Drinker's Guide to Grape Varieties by: Jancis Robinson October 29, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £4.97
I greatly enjoyed this book, but found that the author dwelled a bit too much on facts about where and how much each grape variety is grown, and much of the data is from a 1979 census which doesn't seem too relevant now. Also, the information on Spain is very out of date as it is only in the last 15 years or so that Spain has got its wine act together. Apart from that, very recommended as no other book I have seen covers this subject so extensively and so well.

I can't find a way to insert accents into this text so please ignore what might appear to be errors. Almost the first translation I saw when flicking through this book was 'cream tea' from English to French. The book claims that this equates to 'the accompagne de scones avec confiture (so far, so good) et creme fraiche' BIG mistake. My French is good enough to know that 'creme fraiche' is soured cream and I have made and eaten enough cream teas in my many years on this planet to know that cream teas are served with fresh, whisked-until-almost-solid double cream or clotted cream, NOT with cream that is sour or tart in any way. The translation also omits the possibility of butter, which is usually offered as an option ... Read More:

186.Cordials from Your Kitchen: Easy, Elegant Liqueurs You Can Make by: Pattie Vargas, Rich Gulling, Pattie Vagras 1997-11
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £10.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £9.89 You Save: £1.10 (10%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £5.22
I tried many receipes from this book, and I am very disappointed with 90% of them. The liquors have no character, are too sweet, and are mostly "quickies." What the heck is the point of making a "home" cordial by mixing vodka, food coloring, and an artificial flavouring?! Get real, just buy some cheap schnaps for $5, the taste willbe better. But I guess you can expect those results from these authors. At the beginning of the book they admit that they wrote it because of the success of their "wine making" book (I think, I am not sure if it was really about wines). They started experimenting, and - voila! - here is another book from the "experts." Well, it does not work. Skip this book.

187.The Accidental Connoisseur: An Irreverent Journey Though the Wine World by: Lawrence Osborne 2004-03
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £13.50
As a voracious reader of wine books, this is one of the finest I have read. The author takes us on a tour of wine regions, meeting wine-makers, critics, drinkers - he is obviously an expert but plays to his audience which makes this a humourous and intelligent read. I read it in one sitting and will read it again soon.

188.The Taste of Wine: The Art and Science of Wine Appreciation by: Emile Peynaud October 23, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £75.00 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £61.75 You Save: £13.25 (18%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £20.00
First of all, this is the essential text for anybody serious in developing the skills and the vocabulary to discuss the taste components of wine. Solid reference books on the subject of wine do not come along every year. Last year two titles by Remington Norman (Rhone Renaissance and his second edition of Great Domaines of Burgundy) could be added to that pantheon. But for every serious book like Emile Peynaud's or Remington Norman's, there are dozens regurgitating reviews on a 100 point scale from trade publications. A second edition of this classic text could have been a special event, but instead John Wiley & Sons chose to add a couple of paragraphs of new text and repackage it as a new edition. How could one possibly improve upon ... Read More:
