Wine by the Glass by Oz Clarke

Wine writer Oz Clarke uses his trademark wit and irreverent style to teach you the basics of wine appreciation, showing you how to get more out of a bottle of wine, and find out what is really inside.

Split into sections covering basics (wine at a glance, good grape guide, wine styles, from grape to glass and quick guide to countries); practical stuff (what the label tells you, the canny wine buyer, essential kit, serving and keeping wine); and becoming a wine geek (tasting wine, starting your own collection, finding out more and quick guide to names in wine). Oz will be your guide through the world of fascinating flavours and help you find the sort of wine you enjoy drinking. Soon you will be confident enough to choose between flavoursome reds such as Shiraz or Pinot Noir and refreshing whites, from Albariño to Sauvignon Blanc.
