Description:

While the subject of wine, beer, and spirits continues to grow in popularity, there are very few books that approach the subject in a manner that is both accessible and comprehensive.

For each type of beverage, Gibson covers all the essential history, manufacturing information, varieties available, and tasting and pairing information. Sections on service, storage, and wine lists also cover the ins and outs of storing, pricing, marketing, and serving wine and other alcoholic beverages.…
