How to drink wine. The easiest way to find out what you like

Not to get confused when you see a wine list in a restaurant, to skillfully choose a wine that tastes good with a certain dish, and to distinguish between an expensive drink and a cheap fake - such skills are simply mandatory for wine lovers. But how to learn this, when sommeliers - the greatest connoisseurs of all wine wisdom - operate with completely incomprehensible words, and some questions seem awkward to ask them: for example, how is sparkling wine made and what is rosé wine?

This book will be useful for gourmets who want to know which wine from which region they might like and why most people do not store it properly. And you will no longer get lost in the store, choosing between Chenin Blanc and Montepulciano.
