Book Description

Publication Date: 6 April 2010
"They're big, they're out there, but they're not all the same. This book cuts a sure course through the ocean of popular wines. Carolyn's enthusiasm and stylistic panache tells you what you need to know -- and fast."

- Andrew Jefford, columnist for Decanter and The World of Fine Wine magazine.

"It's about time someone of Carolyn's' calibre stepped forward to champion these humble yet satisfying wines. The first paragraph alone is worth the price of admission."

- Richard Best, The Frugal Oenophile

Review

"It's about time someone of Carolyn's' calibre stepped forward to champion these humble yet satisfying wines. The first paragraph alone is worth the price of admission."
--Richard Best, The Frugal Oenophile

"This book is a fabulous resource. It really filled a niche that needed to be addressed." --Lynne Webb, Publisher, Mygourmetconnection.com

"We're in an era when cheap wine can be very good and Good Better Best Wines helps you get the best."
--Billy Munnelly, Author, Billy's Best Bottles

From the Publisher

America is drinking more wine than ever with the nation poised to become the world's biggest wine consumer by 2012 according to the British firm IWSR. And the vast majority of what Americans drink are global big brands under $15 per bottle with names like Lindemans, Beringer, and Woodbridge--a trend that's expected to continue. But big brands are not created equally. Good, Better, Best Wines, A No-Nonsense Guide to Popular Wine is the first book ever to rank best-selling big brand wines.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cheers!!! 13 April 2010
By Therese Murray - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This is the book that I have been looking for! I am a wine lover but due to my lack of knowledge I have often found myself in aisles picking out which bottle of wine has the prettiest or most interesting labels; talk about judging a book by its cover.. This book hits every note. 250 bottles reviewed and the book is small enough to tote in your bag or leave in your glove box. I LOVE the that the author put pics of labels next to every review to help you pic the bottle out easier. This book has made wine drinking more fun for me as it gave me the confidence to host a wine tasting as all of the descriptions of the wines are listed as well. This book teaches you the history of the type of wine and also etiquette and pairing ideas. There are also wine menu suggestions for parties and even weddings!! I have fallen hard for many of the wines suggested in this book. I am buying it for all of my wine lover friends!! I beg that the author please design her own iphone app to support this book and make it available on kindle!! I cant wait for the next edition!!! Cheers!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Definitely A BEST BUY! 22 April 2010
By J. Sichterman - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I saw this book recommended by Amazon as a result of a purchase of "Wine For Dummies" a long, long time ago. I'm quick with the delete button, but was intrigued and decided to take a look. My wife and I enjoy wine and have found we are enjoying a glass more often during the week and not just for dinner out or special events. I like the promise of a book that rates affordable and findable wines under $15. Alas, I live in a small town in Iowa, how many wines in the grocery store are going to be in the book. I can say I was stunned to see many old friends and many I can't wait to meet on the pages of Carolyn's book. I rather enjoyed her easy to read and lively writing style and the pictures make buying wine even easier.

My advice would be buy two, one for you and one for a friend(so they don't borrow yours and forget to return it!). I would also grab a pen and make your copy into your own personal wine journal.

I just recommended the book to my local grocery store manager and encouraged him to sell the book in the wine aisle!

This book is definitely a BEST BUY!

5.0 out of 5 stars Must-Have Wine Guide 13 April 2010
By C. Nix - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Ever go to buy a bottle or two of wine and can't decipher what to buy from all the choices on the shelves? Well, Good, Better, Best Wines: A No-Nonsense Guide to Popular Wines takes the guesswork out of making that decision. It is a great wine guide for both the novice and the connoisseur of wine. Carolyn Evans-Hammond has made it easy to choose a great wine for every day or a special occasion by recommending the "good, better and best wines" from the most popular wine varietals. Each category comes with tasting notes, a photo of the bottle/label and other interesting tidbits about food pairing, wine storage, etc... I thoroughly enjoyed reading this cleverly written and informative book from start to finish. It is a handy guide to take along on that shopping trip to the wine store or your local grocery store when shopping for wines. GOOD,BETTER,BEST WINES is a must-have for any wine lover as well as a great gift for all your wine loving friends. Cheers to Carolyn for a fantastic job!!!
