60 Minute Expert: Wine

Whether you're new to this interesting subject, or whether your understanding is large but piecemeal, this short book will be a solid, readable guide. It will encourage you to explore further the delightful pastime that is wine. Patricia Avla takes us from the ancient traditions of winemaking, to modern bottling and storing. We learn the different ways of processing the grape, and the array of wines that results, those known to us all - the Cabernets and the Chardonnays - and those we might be encouraged to try - the Nortons and the Muscadines. That wine contributes to health is well-known; here we have the benefits in detail. The author concludes with a series of writers' tributes to wine - and then her own tips as to remedies for over-indulgence!
