Buy Book "Wine. Andrew Jefford’s course" in Ukrainian

When a book is said to be a guide, it is probably true. Especially when the book contains some special information that may be of interest to the reader. It is clear that Andrew Jefford wrote his book with love, and tried to convey his knowledge to the interested reader in a concise but complete manner. And it is very disappointing to read information that distorts the author’s opinion and reflects the unprofessional attitude of Vivat Publishing House to its work. The first opening of the book on page 58 immediately makes even a reader with little knowledge of the subject see the nonsense of what is written. The people who published the book call a well-known Austrian white grape variety “an Australian variety that produces dry red wines,” and a couple of paragraphs later they report that Zinfandel has been successful, in particular, in Northern Italy. It should be noted that Zinfandel (also known as Primitivo) is not grown in northern Italy. However, the entire Southern (!) Italy is proud of the Primitivo variety. I am sure that E. Jefford wrote everything correctly. But when a professionally produced book falls into the hands of people who are not even educated in their field, the result can be terrible. Yes, there are mistakes or typos. But when they follow one after another, it becomes frustrating and you want to close the book. This is definitely not a guidebook, and E. Jefford certainly has nothing to do with it.

The world of wine is a world of tradition and innovation, where well-known names coexist with new and unusual varieties that are either going to win the love of gourmets or sink into oblivion. It’s easy to get lost in the complex and diverse world of wine, even if you’re just picking up a bottle of wine for a family dinner.

Learning to understand the characteristics of wine, navigating its varieties produced around the world – Andrew Jefford’s book Wine is dedicated to all this special art. From this book you will learn how to taste wine, what is the philosophy of wine consumption in general, how wine is born, what determines its taste, texture and aroma, what grape varieties are used in the production of certain types of wine. The author examines in detail the characteristics of different grape varieties, explores the process of growing grapes and the stages of wine production, and then proceeds to review wines on the world map. The book covers wines produced in Italy, Spain, France, North and South America, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Portugal, and Germany.

The author of the beautifully illustrated gift edition offers a twenty-lesson course in wine study that will provide important guidelines for a world-wide journey in search of not only taste enjoyment, but also understanding of the geographical and cultural characteristics of different wines.

“Wine. Andrew Jefford’s Course” is a wonderful gift edition: large illustrations printed on high-quality glossy paper, deep and pulling text, as the wine itself, charming in itself, is very fascinating!!! It’s like a good quality glossy magazine, but much more voluminous.

Special thanks for the translation – very subtle, exquisite. It was easy to read and relaxed. I believe that everyone who is in any way related to the wine business or is simply a fan of this exquisite drink should have such literature in their library.

Today, wine knowledge is a very relevant and important skill.

In today’s world, such interesting hobbies look very favorable in the context of cultural recreation.

The book “Wine. The Andrew Jefford Course” is not just a book, but a guide. Exactly a guide. Because here the author gives a lot of basic information that creates the basis for a comprehensive study of alcohol. Actually, wine, but the book often deals with alcohol in general.

What is the advantage of the book:

First, geography, a description of the locations where the best wines are grown and sold.

Secondly, the breadth of the set of wines covered.

Third, the advice that makes a wine taster an expert.

Fourth, a collection of descriptions of the aromas and flavors of the most popular wines.

As for me, these advantages are a gold mine.

I also liked the fact that the author is engaged in a dialog with the reader. He speaks delicately and meaningfully.

I learned many techniques for recognizing quality wine from any other. I learned how to feel the flavors and describe them correctly. You don’t need to go on any trips or work with a sommelier taster. You just need to have a book like this and become an expert at home.
