Hailed
by Frank J. Prial in The New York Times as "a required reference
for anyone who is serious about wine," and by Anthony Dias
Blue as "one of the definitive reference books on the subject," The
Oxford Companion to Wine won every major wine book award,
including the Julia Child and the James Beard awards.
Ranging from Abruzzi and Armagnac to Zimbabwe
and Zinfandel, from Dionysian revels in ancient Greece to today's
leading wine research
centers, the Companion's alphabetically arranged entries
explore all aspects of wine, including the latest advances in viticulture
and
enology.
There are in-depth discussions of the climates and grape varieties
of great wine regions of the world, and numerous biographies ranging
from Dom Perignon to Robert Parker. The book discusses vintner's
terms, business and legal aspects, and related topics such as distilled
and fortified wines. All technical terms are fully explained, and
the hundreds of useful drawings and photographs illustrate key processes.
New features include a complete guide to geographical names, a vintage
chart, an overview of recent wine prices and investment, and a navigation
chart to the Companion.
The ultimate reference on wine and wine-making,
this is the perfect volume to enhance a lifetime's enjoyment of
this intoxicating topic.
