Everything Wine Book

From great bargains to classic vintages, how to order-or buy-the perfect wine. You won't make a wine mistake ever again!

It used to be that the world of wine was a closed door to all except for the cultural elite. Well, not any more! The Everything Wine Book is the perfect primer for anyone with even the slightest interest in wine, whether you are planning to spend 5 a bottle or 50.

Here is a complete wine resource that's easily accessible and authoritatively written. This friendly, informative book covers everything you need to know, including:

What to spend for a wine that will taste great and impress your friends
How to differentiate types of wine, not just by color
The low-down on champagnes and dessert wines
How to shop for wine in a liquor store
Cocktails and dinner recipes using wine
Wine-inspired vacations
The best wine to serve at parties
Paring foods with wine, from hamburgers and pizza to the classiest French cuisine

Insightful and exciting, The Everything Wine Book takes the mystery out of ordering the perfect bottle of wine and is a wonderful companion to The Everything Pasta Cookbook.
