Library Journal
This readable reference book successfully surveys the world's wines and vineyards. The author covers wine's history and significance in civilization, production methods and microbiology, the physiology of tasting, the medical effects, and tips on selecting, tasting, serving, and cooking with wine. He describes virtually every wine-growing district in the world and analyzes the major districts by village, vintner, and vineyard. Vine includes information about hundreds of wineries and winemakers (emphasizing American and French) and gives addresses of more than 1000 American wineries and names of many European ones. Useful for most public libraries. Peter C. Leonard, Carnegie Lib. of Pittsburgh
