Essential Scratch and Sniff Guide to Becoming a Wine Expert: Take a Whiff of That!

Author Richard Betts is one of fewer than two hundred master sommeliers in the world, but he’s no wine snob and he prefers not to wine-speak. In the first book of its kind, he helps readers scratch and sniff their way to expertise by introducing the basic components of wine-the fruits, the wood, the earth-enabling anyone to discover the difference between a Syrah and a Sangiovese and get the glass they love every time. Humorously illustrated, with 16 scents, this irresistible gift puts the fun back in wine fundamentals. 38 colour illustrations.

Very popular, and a wonderful gift for everyone. Beginners to masters.
