Wine Report 2005 Give Insider Info You Can Use

One of the many joys of traveling around the world is that you get the chance to taste not only the local foods, but the wines of the world as well. As you sniff, swirl and sip, it's fun to see how the various vintages are different - and note their similarities as well. In many cases, the really good local wines never make it out of the country/area, so it's especially rewarding to enjoy them on location-and with the local food. Vinho Verde, for example, always tastes best in Portugal.

If you're serious about tasting the wines of the world, Wine Report 2005 is required reading for you. But this time, as with all DK books I've encountered, the reading is fun!

This handy little volume is packed with insider information on everything from the latest harvests and top producers to wine investments and new finds. Gourmand International awarded it the "Best Wine Guide in the World," and it's easy to see why.

There's so much happening in the wide, wide world of wine, that it's impossible for one person to be an expert on all of it. That's what makes this book so helpful. Author Tom Stevenson, joined by a team of 40 regional specialists, gives you the insider information on the wines of the world to help you zero in on what you would like to taste.

From information on top producers to new finds and best bargains, this handy little volume contains a wealth of information. While beginners could certainly learn something from this book, it's really designed for people who already know something about wine and want to expand their knowledge. It's filled with wine facts-and lots of opinions from the various authors. Actually, this book is just as much a look into the wine industry as it is a guidebook to the wines of the world. By reading the "Grapevine" section, you'll find out who's doing what.

With this book, you can sit at home and take a tour around the world and discover its many luscious wines and you the practical information you need to know to make wise choices. But, even though the book is packed with helpful information, it's small enough that you could take it along with you on your trip to the wine store-or around the world.

DK's Wine Report 2005, by Tom Stevenson and a unique team of regional specialists, is available at major bookstores and online for a suggested retail price of $15. ISBN 0-7566-0506-7.
