Compiled by lead editor Gerard Basset, with contributions from an impressive assembly of wine experts, the book is organised in a sequence of well-thought-out chapters; taking you from terroir to the technicalities of winemaking, introducing you to the important grapes and iconic regions, offering an overview of the business of wine and how it works, and concluding with a section on the enjoyment of wine. And with every entry edited into a neat and effective 300 words, it will leave you plenty of time to put your new-found expertise into practice.
