Wine by Style Summary

Wine by Style: A Practical Guide to Choosing Wine by Flavour, Body, and Colour by Fiona Beckett

This fully revised and updated edition of Wine by Style groups wines by taste rather than country of origin to extend your wine-drinking knowledge and guide you to the wines you'll most enjoy. Completely revised and updated to reflect recent changes in wine styles, Wine by Style offers a refreshingly simple and unique way of exploring wine in terms of flavour and style. A down-to-earth and lively approach to a vast subject helps you extend your knowledge of wine by identifying the main styles, and identify wines made in the same style to those you enjoy. Each chapter covers a main style of wine - from whites and reds to roses, champagne and sparkling wine, and fortified wines. Fiona Beckett explains the different styles and flavours of wines and includes a comprehensive list of wines for each style with descriptions of where they are produced, the grapes they are made from, and what they taste like. There are also useful tasting notes and keys to flavours and price. The influence of climate and soil, and the effect of different winemaking techniques, as well as the factors that influence the style of wine chosen are explored in full.A practical chapter on how to match wine and food, how to serve and store wine, and how to spot when a wine is faulty concludes the book.
