Have you ever stumbled around a bottleshop wanting some advice, but felt too timid to ask? Or looked at the gobbledegook on a wine label, nodding away intelligently, but thought to yourself: 'What does that mean?' If you've had these sorts of experiences - or if you simply enjoy a glass, and want to know a little more about what's in it - then "The Really Useful Pocket Wine Book" is for you. Divided into three parts - Enjoying Wine, Buying and Storing Wine and Understanding Wine - this little book is bursting with useful, accessible information on just about everything the beginner needs to know. From Australia's Major Wine Regions to The Ideal Grog Shop, via Party Planning, the Gentle Art of Blending and Some Quick Fixes, Max's bitesized tips make selecting, serving and enjoying wine truly simple, all at a price you can stomach.
