A Perfect Glass of Wine: Choosing, Serving, and Enjoying Great Wines by Brian St Pierre, Many people are intimidated by wine. In fact, there's nothing more complicated about it than trying the different kinds and seeing what you like. The ultimate test for any wine is purely subjective: Do you like the taste? In this practical and elegant guide to wine, you'll find the key to answering that question with confidence. A Perfect Glass of Wine reveals how truly easy it is to relax and savor the fruit of the vine. All the wines in the world come from just a few varieties of grape, and the grape determines the wine's flavor. Once these categories of flavor are understood, all the rest flows as easily as wine into the glass - how to match wine with food, how to store and serve it, which are the right occasions for a certain type of wine, and even how much of a fuss to make over a bottle and how much to spend on it. Acclaimed wine writer Brian St. Pierre's down-to-earth, humorous approach to the art of drinking wine, full of suggestions and advice - all combined with spectacular photographs and charming illustrations - make this wonderful guide a gift for anyone who wants to learn to understand, appreciate, and, above all, fully enjoy a perfect glass of wine.
Tears of wine - The phenomenon called tears of wine is manifested as a ring of clear liquid, near the top of a glass of wine, from which droplets form and flow back into the wine. It is most readily observed in a wine that has a high alcohol content. Jug wine - Jug wine is an American term for inexpensive table wine typically bottled in a glass jug. Many wine aficionados regard it as less than palatable. Glass onion - Glass onions were large hand blown glass bottles used aboard sailing ships to hold wine or brandy. Wine bottle - A wine bottle is a bottle used for holding wine, generally made of glass. Some wines are fermented in the bottle, others are bottled only after fermentation. wineglassgelcandle |
