Entender de Vino
Understanding wine is synonymous with knowing how to enjoy life’s pleasures, and connoisseurs have that air of distinction which is conferred by the possession of an ancient and cultivated wisdom. On the pages of this book, the reader will learn how to buy and store bottles, how to carry out tastings step by step, and even how to distinguish the vine stock of each grape. There is information on colour variation, texture, aroma, body, the different flavours and ages of wine, the ideal temperatures for storing and serving it, and how to recognise variations in the quality of different vintages according to year and region. All this is accompanied by a useful glossary of terms from viticulture and viniculture, as well as excellent information on historical background.
