“In Exploring Wines & Spirits, Christopher Fielden and the staff of the Wine & Spirit Education Trust have gathered a breadth of information on the world’s wine producing countries rarely seen in one volume.  From the classic and established Old World countries of France and Germany to the vibrant New World of Australia and the Americas and the newly emerging countries of eastern Europe, each important wine and spirit producing region is examined, with styles noted and explained clearly in terms of the factors that affect their production.  In the introductory chapters, such key subjects as grape growing, wine making, and tasting are addressed, establishing the important principles in a straightforward manner.  The text is supported throughout with full colour maps, diagrams and photographs.”
