SUMMER means days of wine and roses - and this book is all about drinking wine, enjoying wine and laughing about wine.

Straight-talking Max Allen explores in detail how countries, regions, grapes and wine-making in all corners of the world affect the taste of wine.

No-nonsense advice on how to get maximum enjoyment from every glass of wine makes this a fun, easy-to-read, practical guide.

A great book to keep in the car if you're planning on any wine tours this holiday season.
