Product Description
The first edition of this popular wine reference was hailed by Jurgen Gothe of the Vancouver Sun as the best new wine book in more than a decade. The New Wine Lovers Companion has been completely rewritten and updated to make it even better. No wine snobbery here. This books style is relaxed and conversational, serving up information without intimidating its reader. Arranged alphabetically, nearly 4,000 entries include innumerable details on grape varieties; wine styles; wine-growing regions; wine label terms; winemaking techniques; how to buy, store, and serve wine; how to have a wine tasting; wine-testing terms; sizes and styles of glassware, wine bottles, and wine openers; ordering wine in a restaurant; opening and serving wine at home; temperatures for serving wine; and much more. This book is the only A-to-Z wine reference that offers phonetic pronunciations. It boasts a totally revised and expanded appendix enhanced with charts, line art, and sample labels. Praise for the previous edition came from many food and dining authorities: an invaluable, user-friendly reference. I learned something from the very first page I turned to, and keep learning as I keep turning. William Rice, Food and Wine Columnist, Chicago Tribune . . . A great reference! . . . excellent and accurate source for both wine professionals and those involved with wine purely for the love of it. Jacques Pepin, cookbook author and TV chef

5 out of 5 stars The true encyclopedia of wine   September 22, 2007
This is the be all end all of information as far as wines are concerned. We keep a copy in the shop at all times for new employees, and when they encounter a question on a certain varietal or terminology, it answers all the customers questions. Highly recommended.


5 out of 5 stars Excellent Resource   August 31, 2007
If you love food and wine, this book is the perfect companion to the Food Lover's Companion. It's the ultimate dictionary for wine terminology.


5 out of 5 stars Everything I hoped for from the Oxford Companion, but in an easy to use format.   March 31, 2007

This book was my favorite dealing with wine. It contains much of the same info as the Oxford Companion, but you can hold it in your hands and carry it about. It contains very useful information if you are learning about wine. Also has a great pronunciation guide for wine terms.

5 out of 5 stars It is a dictionary   January 10, 2007
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

I purchased this book as a gift and my husband loved it. Yes, It is a dictionary so no pictures just words! It is a great addition to the "Complete Wine Course" by Kevin Zraly. Its small format is great to take along to diners or wine tasting party.
Great value for the price.
