Alan Boehmer: Wine Basics [2009]

For those new to wine or for dabblers who could use some help deciphering foreign labels, "Knack Wine Basics" brings clarity to the sometimes baffling and intimidating world of wine. By a California-based expert - and including 400 full-colour photos, ten recipes, and twelve maps - it covers everything from how to read a label to entertaining with wine; ordering and serving wine; wine from all regions of the world; and, how to interpret wine ratings.
