Product Description
Product Description
If you're after a good quality wine to try, you are no longer restricted to the greats of the Old World - Burgundy, Bordeaux, Rhine Valley and Barolo to name but a few. Countries everwhere from Argentina to Australia, and even China, Canada, India and Thailand are now producing great wines at affordable prices. So what to choose? "1001 Wines You Must Try Before You Die" is here to lift you out of the grapey confusion. Entries written by experts cover everything you'll need to choose between the Chardonnay or the Grenache, including evocative tasting notes, informative and entertaining reviews, suggestions as to when the wines will be at their best and recommendations for other great vintages and similar wines. Accompanied by images of the wine labels and beautiful photographs of the wineries and vineyards, this book is a sumptuous guide to discovering the world's most interesting and exciting wines.
About the Author
Neil Beckett's interest in wine stretches back for many years, so much so that his MBA dissertation was on White Burgundy. He has spent time in Burgundy, and has also qualified for the WSET Diploma, graduating with distinction. As well as working for wine shipping company Richards Walford, he has also worked at Harpers Wine & Spirit Weekly where he was a contributing editor for many years and in 2004 became the first editor of the critically-acclaimed, leading wine magazine, The World of Wine, on which he works with Hugh Johnson and Andrew Jefford. He is one of two UK tasters on the Grand Jury Europeen du vin and his wine writing has won prizes.

This is a beautiful book for all wine lovers with excellent illustrations and descriptions for every variety of wine you'll ever want to drink. My only critisism would be the price guide has been overtaken by events with the fall in purchasing power of the pound (March 2009).
Any who loves food or cooking will find this a must. Beautifully illustrated, succinct descriptions, I received this as a present and went on to buy it for several friends.

The only book on Wine you'll ever need
10 July 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase
Over the years I've collected many books on wine (having been in the Wine Trade for a long time). Now retired I can re-read and buy new ones.
This book is thick and heavy,but contains all you need to know about not only the 1001 wines in it,but also the vineyard,history,proprietor,winemaker
and how the wine was made.Most importantly it tells you what it tastes like,and recommends other vintages of the same wine and also recommends
other wines similar in style and price.And there are lots of photos either of the vineyard,estate or product.It does refer mainly to high end and expensive
wines but does contain details of many,many affordable wines.Written in a non-technical style,it is not only very readable,but a must have reference book.
Enjoy the book and the wines in it!
