About this ebook

The world of wine is fascinating and deep yet when we try to learn more it 

can seem daunting. It should be fun and not complicated or mysterious.

This book is written for wine lovers from beginners to professionals. It was 

created to gently assist the reader through all the stages of enjoying wine.

The author answers all the "why" questions about wine. The "wonders" are 

easily explained by a logical and scientific approach. These explanations 

and illustrations prepare the way so that the reader can smoothly move on to 

the next level.

•  Do we need some special talent for wine tasting? -> No. -> Just lots 

of wine tasting.

•  Why does sunshine matter? -> Because it is the most important factor 

in judging the appearance of wine. - > We have to look at the appearance 

carefully.

•  How should we describe the age? -> This book offers many examples and 

sample expressions.

The author takes the reader in hand to naturally learn the basic parts of 

wine tasting and further, to be able to express the taste in "wine" terms.

"Scientific approach" might sound a bit serious but it really is not. It 

simply means a consistent and methodical approach.We overlay our logical 

explanation with a sensory understanding about wine. This book was very 

carefully conceived and designed to assist the reader in understanding ideas 

and what we "feel"; our senses. By displaying color samples, graphic charts 

and pictures, the author's way of sensing wine’s characteristics are easily 

understood.

This is a truly unique book both because of its approach and its "sensory" 

focus on tasting wine.
