Wine is fantastic, and so is learning about it, once you start getting the pull from discovering new wines, new aromas, new experiences, the ball starts rolling and does not stop, as with thousands of options available, and many more thousand wines made every year, the road to discovery is endless. I have been organising, delivering ad enjoying wine tastings for over 15 years now, and I also love educating friends and strangers alike on the wonders of the wine world. I have tasted around 30.000 different wines so far (more or less), and I keep enjoying wine more and more every single day, I would love to share that joy with you. With Wine and Wine Tasting, an introduction, I am giving you, a simple and easy to understand first step into the wine and wine tasting world. Starting with some basic information about wine production, how to taste it, what to look for in the bottle and in the wine itself, ... and the very basics to start enjoying wine and wine tasting. I have two very clear things about learning (and I am currently working as a lecturer in university): learning step by step and, enjoy and have fun while you learn, and I have tried to reflect this in my book. Hence this is an introductory book, enough information for you to understand wine, and start enjoying drinking it and talking about it. This book will help you to recognise what is important about wine and wine labels, and will help you to make the most of every wine you try. I am trying to keep this book to around 100 pages, so it is not only easy to read, but it does not take you too long before you can star using the knowledge. It contains enough information, while eliminating all of most of the technicisms; however if you want to now more and increase your knowledge, please check my other books at the end of this one, which contain more specialised and technical information.
