An indispensable book for every wine lover, from some of the world's greatest experts.Where do wine grapes come from and how are they related to each other? What is the historical background of each grape variety? Where are they grown? What sort of wines do they make and, most importantly, what do they taste like? Using the most cutting-edge DNA analysis and detailing almost 1,400 distinct grape varieties, as well as myriad correct (and highlighting almost as many incorrect) synonyms, this particularly beautiful book includes revelatory grape family trees, and a rich variety of illustrations from Viala and Vermorel's seminal ampelography with century-old illustrations. Combining Jancis Robinson's world view, nose for good writing and good wines with Julia Harding's expertise and attention to detail plus Dr Vouillamoz's unique level of scholarship, Wine Grapes offers essential and original information in greater depth and breadth than has ever been available before. A book for wine students, wine experts and wine lovers everywhere.AWARDSBest Wine, Beer and Spirits Book and winner of the Jane Grigson award, IACP (International Association of Culinary Professionals) Awards 2014A wine book of the year, 2013, The Times, LondonFaiveley International Wine Book of the Year 2013, Roederer AwardsBest Viticulture Book 2013, OIV AwardsBest Drink Book 2012, Fortnum & Mason Food and Drink AwardsBest Beverage Book 2012, James Beard AwardsBest Drink Book 2012, André Simon AwardsHall of Fame for Best Wine Book 2012, Gourmand World Cookbook AwardsBest Drinks Book 2012, Wine & Spirits magazineOne of the V&A's '100 books essential for preserving humanity'
