A wine Encyclopdeia For Everyone. 3 Aug 2000
By sherri j. thorne - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
This wine encyclopedia has all the information that you will need about wine. It is useful for anyone, from the novice to the connoisseur. I agree with my fellow reviewer that France gets the lion's share of the attention, though I did find the section on Italian wines to be quite good. What was particularly useful was detailed information about the various wine producing regions, the major vinyards, and how to read labels, which at times can be confusing. All of this gives the reader enough information to make really good choices. What was a welcome surprise was the section on the Czeck Republic and Slovenia, and the quality wines that they produce. The section on the United States could have been longer, and I expect that to be expaned in updated editions. Overall, an excellent book on wine.

Wine with a French twist 12 Feb 1997
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
As you'd expect of Larousse, this hefty tome has a decidedly French twist, carrying approximately 170 pages about the wines of France compared with a scanty 37 pages about all of the United States. But France remains arguably the center of the wine world, and this one contains just about everything you'd ever want to know about French wine and a fair amount about the rest of the world, too

Beautiful masterpiece 17 Aug 2005
By G. Pap - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
The book is simply amazing and covers all the wine-producing regions of the world. I bought this book to my husband as a gift and he really likes it for it is being so complete about wine. I think this book is useful for both connaisseurs and those who try to become a connaisseur. I recommend this book to everyone interested in wine.

The book contains detailed information about production, bottles, regions, basically everything that is worth to know about wine.
