The Dirty Guide to Wine: Following Flavor from Ground to Glass

Wine from Grape to Glass is the essential guidebook for wine lovers who want to understand how

their favorite wines are grown, how they are produced, and how best to savor them. The first

half of the book is devoted to the process of winemaking and wine appreciation. The mysteries

of the vineyard and terroir, the grape harvest, fermentation, and aging are all explained in

full, as are the intricacies of serving, tasting, and storing wine. The second half of the book

examines the best wines of the world, country by country, in a level of detail that is satisfying

without being overwhelming. More than one thousand color illustrations, including numerous maps,

make this a visual as well as a textual guide.

This fourth edition of Wine from Grape to Glass is revised and updated throughout. It includes

new sections on recent trends in winemaking―including rosés and natural wines―and expanded coverage

of many winemaking regions, including Eastern Europe, the Middle East, South America, China, and Japan.
