OPIS TREŚCI :  Many of us have found our hearts sinking and a light beading of perspiration forming on our brows on hearing the words: "Would sir or madam care to see the wine list?" For some, even the in-flight attendant’s: "Would you prefer the New Zealand Sauvignon, or the French Chablis with your meal?" is a poser roughly on a level with: "Do you consider the early Mayan pottery superior to the later designs?" The world of wine can often seem shrouded in timeless mystery; ruled by ancient and terrifyingly complex rituals. But as more and more are discovering it is, in fact, rather more like a sphinx without a secret. This book strips away the myths and misunderstandings about wine to reveal the simple truths and pleasures of one of mankind’s oldest gifts to itself. Some of the world’s leading experts come together to describe, without a hint of patronage, how a good wine is grown, harvested, fermented, and served. This book will also explain how to get the best out of the bottle you have just uncorked – or increasingly these days, uncapped – and how to share what you will learn about tasting and enjoying its contents with family and friends.
