Wine Wise

Wine Wise is a book for consumers who have an interest in wine but do not have confidence in their ability to select the "proper" bottle. It will give them a basic introduction to wine: how to select the proper bottle, identify its flavors, and identify grapes of its region. The book will educate readers about how to "read" labels. Maps and 4-color photographs of wine growing regions appear throughout the book. Chapter contents include: the role of the vineyard and winemaker, the five major red and white grape varieties with reference to their regions, the lesser-known grape varieties, wine tasting skills, food and wine pairing, and selecting the right wine for your occasion and budget. This book will have several components that set it apart from the competition.
