Furthermore there is a listing of the top producers from each region with helpful images of the bottle labels to ensure you are purchasing the correct wine. These are supported with cultural insight and recommended food pairing suggestions. The Wine Bible provides a very thorough overview of the styles of wines produced in key wine producing regions from around the world.

Yet, The Wine Bible by Karen MacNeil does this. It is hard for a book to be both entertaining and informative on a topic such as wine which is so far reaching. Comprehensively researched passages of detailed information become easy to digest through wonderfully entertaining and unique descriptions of both wine and surrounding terroir. It is unsurprising when reading her engaging and insightful prose that make this book a joy to read. The Wine Bible is a comprehensive, accurate, painstakingly re-researched source for all people interested in wine, that inspires and educates through the passion of Karen MacNeil.Karen MacNeil has won every major wine-writing award. In her friendly, conversational tone, that made her first edition so popular, she answers questions like 'Are Women Better Wine Tasters than Men?' and explains 'The Myth of Cabernet and Chocolate'. She write about the classic regions (Bordeaux, Burgundy, Tuscany) and also the newer regions in China, Japan, Mexico, and Slovenia. She goes on to explore the wine regions of each wine-producing country-including sections on the vineyards, grapes, history and culture, foods, wineries and flavours and characteristics of wine regions. Like the first edition, MacNeil opens with a chapter on 'Mastering Wine,' including sections on What Makes Wine Wine, How to Taste Like a Professional, and What Are the 10 Important Questions Every Wine Drinker Asks (with their answers).


And Karen MacNeil's revised second edition of The Wine Bible is the indispensable guide for novices, experts, and everyone in-between.
