Features: This book can be said to be a combination of a wine textbook, a reader's guide, and a reference book. It introduces the basic types of wine, how to taste wine, which grapes can be used to make wine, and how wine is named. It also covers where to buy wine, how to purchase it, how to describe and evaluate the wine you taste, how to pair wine with food, how to properly store wine, and the major wine-producing regions in the world and the wines they produce. In addition, it provides practical knowledge related to wine—how to deal with arrogant sales staff, how to read a restaurant's wine list, and how to handle stubborn corks. It also teaches you how to interpret ambiguous wine labels. This book is suitable for all wine lovers who want to increase and enrich their wine knowledge, as well as staff working in various hospitality establishments such as hotels and restaurants.
