There's never been a better time to explore wine: more is being made, of higher quality, in greater variety and at more affordable prices - we've never had it so good! The huge choice of bottles that greets you on the supermarket or off-licence shelf may seem daunting at first, but with this invaluable little book you will soon pick up the basic facts behind the wonderful world of wine. As Red Wine shows, the place to start is with the grapes themselves, because once you can identify the different varieties and the wines that they make, you will discover the wines that you like and those that you don't. Jonathan Ray considers all the important grape varieties - from Merlot to Cabernet Sauvignon and from Nebbiolo to Zinfandel - describing their characters, quirks and qualities. The secrets of deciphering wine labels, the best ways to store, serve and taste wine - and how to tackle a restaurant wine list - are also revealed. With Red Wine to hand, you will soon find yourself able to approach any bottle with total confidence.. * Contents Introduction 6 Bottle shapes and sizes 8 Labels explained 10 Varietals and blends 12 Grape varieties Cabernet Sauvignon 14 Merlot 16 Pinot Noir 18 Syrah 20 Cabernet Franc 22 Barbera 24 Carignan 26 Gamay 28 Grenache 30 Malbec 32 Mourvedre 34 Nebbiolo 35 Tempranillo 38 Sangiovese 40 Cinsault 42 Petit Verdot 43 Pinotage 44 Zinfandel 45 Fortified wines 46 Vintages 48 Ageing 49 Laying down 50 Wine in restaurants 51 Food and wine 52 Quality classifications 56 Storing, serving and decanting 58 Glossary 60 Index 62 Acknowledgements 64 ** About the Authors Jonathan Ray spent several years in the wine trade, working for Peter Dominic, Oddbins and Berry Bros & Rudd.
