Features: A Journey of Wine Tastes is the sister work of Rare Wines of the World and another significant work by Chen Xinmin on wine appreciation. It serves as a supplement to Rare Wines of the World, introducing exceptional wines that did not make it into the "Top 100" but are undoubtedly worth mentioning. It also features wines beyond the author's personal tasting experiences. For domestic wine enthusiasts, the world's top 100 wines may seem distant, but the many wines and stories in A Journey of Wine Tastes unfold around us. Varieties like China's Shaoxing wine and Japan's sake are familiar to all. The book is divided into three parts: Red Wine Tastes, White Wine Tastes, Other Wine Tastes, and Wine Pleasures. A Journey of Wine Tastes is not only a work that introduces, appreciates, and evaluates wines but also the author's personal journey over decades immersed in the world of wine, traveling the globe in search of the origins and stories behind fine wines. For each wine, apart from basic introductions and corresponding images, Chen Xinmin vividly recounts engaging anecdotes in passionate and expressive prose—whether wine reviews, travel observations, or personal reflections. The writing is easy to read yet deeply satisfying, seemingly effortless yet brimming with the author's insights into life, attitudes toward existence, understanding of art, and unwavering pursuit of wine appreciation. Emotions flow gently between the lines, much like fine wine, deserving of careful savoring.
