Wine tasting is a great hobby for anyone who appreciate wine. Wine tasting is the sensory examination and evaluation of wine. While the practice of wine tasting is as ancient as its production, a more formalized methodology has slowly become established from the 14th century onwards. Modern, professional wine tasters (such as sommeliers or buyers for retailers) use a constantly-evolving formal terminology which is used to describe the range of perceived flavors, aromas and general characteristics of a wine. More informal, recreational tasting may use similar terminology, usually involving a much less analytical process for a more general, personal appreciation.

To really enjoy wine tasting, you need to know all about wine. If you are a seasonal wine drinker, it can be hard so people often get a book to further their knowledge of wine. This book called the Wine Bible till tell you about all the different types of wine and grapes that you need to know to be knowledgeable enough to enjoy tasting different wine.

The Wine Bible is broken into countries, hitting all of the major wine producers and most of the minor ones. Each section gives detailed descriptions of the country’s wines (with chapters on individual regions when necessary), highlighting specific wine producers and individual wines, as well as talking about local foods, customs, and other tidbits that add to the reading experience. MacNeil begins her journey through the world’s wine with an invaluable section on “Mastering Wine,” which lets a reader get ready before uncorking separate sections. –A.J. Rathbun
