Everything you could possibly want to know about wine, in one fully
up-to-date A-Z volume! The Oxford Companion to Wine is a uniquely
comprehensive and in-depth A-Z reference book on every aspect of
wine: more than 4,000 entries covering topics from history through
geography, geology, soil science, viticulture, winemaking,
packaging, labelling, academia, technology, and regulations to
people and places, tasting, writing, and the language of wine. The
system of cross-references takes the reader from one entry to
another, showing how all these topics are interconnected in the
fascinating story of wine in its most traditional and modern forms.
This new fifth edition, which benefits from the knowledge and
experience of over one hundred new contributors, all experts in
their field or geographical region, is expanded by 264 new entries,
and every existing entry has been reviewed, updated, and polished.
The text is more international than ever, written for wine lovers
of every persuasion, including those who love wine but want to know
more in order to increase their enjoyment of this endlessly
fascinating liquid, and those who are intent on studying wine,
professionally or privately. This is a huge treasure trove of
knowledge, for the first time breaking the barrier of one million
words, but the alphabetical format and the links between the
entries make it easily navigable, and the language, while not
shying away from complex science, is intended to open the door to
every curious reader looking for answers on every question they
have ever wanted to ask about wine.
