3.0 out of 5 stars Missing the most important information!, 21 Aug 2008
By P. J. Golda "Digilante" (Luxembourg) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The guide is very much standard in terms of layout - begins with notes about the tasting and rating processes, gives an overview of Spanish wines, and then delves into the various regions giving an overview of each, together with listings of most estates and their wines. The book ends with a nice list of top wines, and an index that seems to work well.

However, on page 9, the author states that with each rating he also gives the price range of the wine, as well as a rating of the value for money (1 to 5 stars). Umm, nice... but where is this information? It seems to me that the publishers of this English-language edition simply removed this information for what can only be commercial reasons and protection of import monopolies in your country.

As most of us who buy this book do not live in Spain itself, the price and value for money information is of utmost importance (is my local importer ripping me off, is this special offer really a good offer, am I paying too much for a 92 point wine, etc). Very disappointing - especially in a guide that is meant to stand above commercial interests and inform the consumer for his or her benefit.

I would imagine that the Spanish original would have this information. May be worth getting it just for that, and learning a bit of Spanish won't hurt you either.
