1001 Wines You Must Taste Before You Die Hardcover – September 9, 2008

Over the years I've collected many books on wine (having been in the Wine Trade for a long time). Now retired I can re-read and buy new ones.This book is thick and heavy,but contains all you need to know about not only the 1001 wines in it,but also the vineyard,history,proprietor,winemakerand how the wine was made.Most importantly it tells you what it tastes like,and recommends other vintages of the same wine and also recommendsother wines similar in style and price.And there are lots of photos either of the vineyard,estate or product.It does refer mainly to high end and expensivewines but does contain details of many,many affordable wines.Written in a non-technical style,it is not only very readable,but a must have reference book.Enjoy the book and the wines in it!

This is a beautiful gift to give to someone who loves their wines. Very educational with beautiful pictures inside. It is a wonderful holiday gift, birthday gift etc! It is also very thick. Looks good on a coffee table. Worth buying.

I like this book, especially considering I only gave a couple of dollars for it. It gives great background references and colorful histories. The major part of which wines to keep and store, and which to drink within a year is obsolete as the book was printed years ago, but there is a lot of info about wineries, wine growing regions, a what to look for in a wine. And the book was so cheap (including shipping) that I bought an extra copy to read at a vacation home.

This book is good to have to assist you in selection of wines and prices. It also can make a great gift for the wine connoisseur in your family.

Great Information, the only problem is that is does not come with a sample of the 1001 wines listed in the book.

This book is well laid out and provides information no tony about the 1000 wines but also about other wines from the same co yard that may be more affordable.

This becomes an exciting book to just jump in and search as you will. Almost a reference book. Can look up and see producers you won't normally find. This is a must have.

For the price I can't really complain. This product was rated as Very Good, I would have marked it as Good. The cover was ripped but my main problem with the book is the edges of the hard cover are very worn down to where the hard cover fabric is peeling.
