Book Description
Wine has become an important part of North American mealtimes; it provides one of the most enjoyable partners to any dish. The consumption of wine has increased dramatically -- and so has interest in the history and creation of wine. Unlike that of many other drinks, the flavor of wine is determined by hundreds of different factors often having nothing to do with the winegrower's influence.Dictionary of Wine provides a comprehensive guide to the specialist terms used in growing, producing and tasting wine. It covers the basic concepts -- from the different types of grapes, regions and methods of growing vines -- right through to the finished product. Many other wine guides provide descriptions of vintages and sources of wine; Dictionary of Wine also covers the terms used in making and tasting wine.Each entry is written in the encyclopedic style of other Fitzroy Dearborn dictionaries -- PC and the Internet, Astronomy, Law, etc.; the definitions are clear and concise, comprehensible even to beginners. The text is fully illustrated with line drawings and maps.

Book Description
A nicely structured, lightly acidic addition to the handy Snob’s Dictionary series, decoding the baffling world of winespeak from A to Z. Wine Snob. The very phrase seems redundant, doesn't it? When faced with this snobbiest of snobberies, the civilian wine enthusiast needs the help of savvy translators like David Kamp and David Lynch. Their Wine Snob’s Dictionary delivers witty explication of both old-school oeno-obsessions (What's claret? Who's Michael Broadbent?) and such new-wave terms as "malolactic fermentation" and "fruit bomb." Among the other things Kamp and Lynch demystify: Finish: the Snob code-term for "aftertaste." (Robert Parker includes the stopwatch-measured length of a wine's finish in his ratings.) Meritage: an American wine classification that rhymes with "heritage," and should NEVER be pronounced "meri-TAHJ." Terroir: that elusive quality of vineyard soil that has sommeliers talking of "gunflint," "leather," and "candied fruits" Featuring ripe, luscious, full-bodied illustrations by Snob's Dictionary stalwart Ross MacDonald, The Wine Snob’s Dictionary is as heady and sparkling as a vintage Taittinger, only much less expensive... and much more giggle-inducing. Cheers!
