5 out of 5 stars FANTASTIC!   April 30, 2007

Its the best book about wine I ever read. Full of information, with an easy organization, with the entries alphabetically displayed. This is the real wine bible. Perfect!


5 out of 5 stars must-have book on wine   April 7, 2007

On another review, I mentioned that you need more than one book if you are serious about wine. But this is the most comprehensive work on wine I've seen, and one of the "must-have" in your collection. If you are interested in the ratings of specific wines or wineries, you need to get other books in addition to this.

This is a tour de force. How Jancis managed the monumental task of updating so much information makes the mind boggle. It is a veritable encyclopedia for the serious wine connoiseur.


4 out of 5 stars International wines   March 7, 2007
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

Wine is a very good enciklopedi review of international wines. It comprises regions, wines, history, marketing data and so on. Useful data on wine production and testing are included. It is quite easy to find the object you are interested in. There are useful maps of wine regions across the world.
I would like quite frequently to find more quantitative data including tables and graphs, comparisons. But especially I missed the data about the amount of alcohol, amount of acids, minerals and aromates quantitatively.
I am enyoing vhen reading this book inspite that I am wine lover, not professional.


5 out of 5 stars Perfect for, well, looking up anything about wine   February 18, 2007
 5 out of 5 found this review helpful

The Oxford is basically the bible for wine. Very thorough and a great reference. This is *the* book. Just get it.
One comment about the reviewer who said, "A lot of money for a text book that is not a consumer's guide" - my reply? Duh. Look what you wrote - It's an encyclopedia, not one of the multitudes of consumer guides. Know what you are talking about before writing a review. As far as consumer guides, Oz Clark and Robert Parker both produce consumer/buying guides where you can look specific producers.
