Title: Wonderfully written in laymanâs terms.
Review: For someone that knew nothing about wine, how to pick it out a good bottle, the differences between flavors, etc., this book is fantastic. It brings it down to a simple level, easy to read, yet thorough and informative. Iâve only finished about a third of the book, and I suspect as I continue it will become more and more intense. I would hope so, my knowledge increases as I read. Certainly that seems to be happening so far. This is a great book for someone like me who knows very little, but I think also for someone who knows some thing, but wants to greatly expand their detailed knowledge. While he covers things that a broad level, he also breaks down to the level how two wines from an individual region might be different colors, even from the same grape and region, and such. I would recommend this to all levels of wine lovers.

Title: Torn page
Review: The book itself is great. Iâve heard great reviews that this is the best book to buy if you want to learn about wine. However when it arrived to me the front cover page had a slight tear, no biggy but upsetting.

Review: I ordered the hardcover brand new copy of this book and the one I received is very clearly used and half of the writing is gone, itâs covered in dirt and dust and thereâs multiple sticky notes with writing on them inside of the book. Some pages are wrinkled and folded. I very clearly got sent a used or damaged book.
