Publisher Description
The Ultimate Buying Guide to America’s Most Popular and Accessible Wines
The first guide to buying wine that grades the top-selling premium wines in stores and restaurants: popular supermarket brands, trade-up brands, and super-premium labels. Andrea Immer, one of America’s foremost wine authorities, surveyed thousands of wine professionals and ordinary consumers, who assess what really matters most–taste and value for the money. She also provides:
• Best-of lists: The top performing wines
• Immer Best Bets: Andrea Immer’s top picks for every major buying dilemma, from inexpensive crowd pleasers to blue-chip choices for business entertaining
• “The Top Fifty Wines You’re Not Drinking”: These wines are less well known, but offer good availability and great value
• Immersion Course: Quick and easy label-reading lessons to give you instant buying expertise
• Kitchen Countertop (and Fridge) Survivor™ grades: How long will the wine keep after it’s opened? Now you’ll know the wines’ “freshness window” after opening.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Immer (Great Wine Made Simple, etc.) dispenses more smart, friendly advice on buying wine in this latest installment of her popular series of guides. What's new for 2005? The price of California wine is declining (thanks to a soft economy and a glut of grapes) and the two-buck Chuck is exploding into a national phenomenon, much to many wine aficionados' dismay. For the democratic Immer, however, the news is all good. As she explains,"the closer wine gets to an everyday price (meaning somewhat comparable to beer), the more likely consumers are to treat it as an everyday beverage"--which is just what she's always believed it should be anyway.
