Wine is more popular than ever. And Karen MacNeil's revised second edition of The Wine Bible is the indispensable guide for novices, experts, and everyone in-between. Like the first edition, MacNeil opens with a chapter on 'Mastering Wine,' including sections on What Makes Wine Wine, How to Taste Like a Professional, and What Are the 10 Important Questions Every Wine Drinker Asks (with their answers). She goes on to explore the wine regions of each wine-producing country—including sections on the vineyards, grapes, history and culture, foods, wineries and flavours and characteristics of wine regions. She write about the classic regions (Bordeaux, Burgundy, Tuscany) and also the newer regions in China, Japan, Mexico, and Slovenia. In her friendly, conversational tone, that made her first edition so popular, she answers questions like 'Are Women Better Wine Tasters than Men?' and explains 'The Myth of Cabernet and Chocolate'.
