5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful Book for all wine lovers 23 Mar 2009
By Wine Loving Brit
Format:Paperback
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).

4.0 out of 5 stars I've Got A Lot Of Tasting To Do 5 Jan 2009
By Alan Gettis - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I don't think I'm going to get to all 1001 wines before I die. But this book will help me choose the ones I do get to. Filled with great photos, lots of history, and all the facts you want to know about wine, this is an excellent book for both novices and knowledgable wine drinkers.

5.0 out of 5 stars The only book on Wine you'll ever need 10 July 2010
By Mr. Anthony G. Beech - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|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!

This becomes an exciting book to just jump in and search as you will. Almost a reference book. Can look up and see producers you won't normally find. This is a must have.
