24-Hour Wine Expert

Many wine drinkers wish they knew more without having to understand every nuance or go to expensive wine tastings. In her new book, Jancis Robinson, the leading international authority on wine, grants the wishes of would-be wine experts the world over. With The 24-Hour Wine Expert, anyone can learn all that is really important about wine in a single day. In her pithy, approachable, comprehensive guide, Robinson shares her expertise with authority, wit, and approachability, tackling questions such as how to select the right bottle at retail, what wine labels signify, how to understand the properties of color and aroma, and how to match food and wine. Robinson’s proposition is irresistible: In just 24 hours, anyone can become a wine expert. So pour a glass and get reading!Note: the simulated wine stains on the cover of the book are a design element and are intentional.

Jancis Robinson has out-done herself here. This book is like a plot outline of a play... it gives you just enough to let you know what to expect. It was never intended to be the last word in wine books, but it beats most of the ones I have read on giving the basics of whatever the topic is. It is a great book for giving "thumbnail" introductions to grapes, regions, wine rules, etc. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you.

A very concise and interesting start for wine beginners. This woman has been successfully writing wine books for a long time and is well respected and honored. She is a British Icon.

I give this book 5 stars. Nevertheless I work in wine industry for years, I couold find a plethora of valuable information in this little book. Absolute must-read for those who want to discover a beautiful universe of wine! Thank you Jancis!

My wife loves it
