Book review: “Wine” by André Dominé

A Jeroboam of Winebooks! For those who want to know it all, André Dominé has created a book that both novice and experienced wine lovers will enjoy. Dominé is an award winning German wine writer who lives in a wine village in the South of France.
Wine, an introduction to the world of wine, covers the wines of France, South Africa, Italy, Germany, China and dozens of other countries and regions. The book is a fabulous resource for finding information about wines, wine regions, as well as wine history. This is not commonly found in most wine books. Its large format and wealth of pages ensures that just about every topic you could be interested in will be covered here. The 926 page book is about the whole (wine)world. If you want to have it all in one cover this is the book for you. Of course allmost each wine region described, has entire books dedicated to it, so the information given is sometimes a bit concise. Bordeaux for example is covered in just 39 pages.
With over 1500 illustrations, maps and pictures I find the book as attractive as it is informative. A great gift for any wine lover. My rating: ***** (5 stars out of 5)
