Want to know about wine - By: Rowena T, 28 Mar 2006
This invaluable book gives a great start to learning about wines. This can be a great book for moving into the wine industry & following up with industry qualifications, or for the enthusiastic amateur. Well written, & clear
Enjoyable, accessible and informative - By: y-fly, 23 Jan 2004
I'd always been a bit doubtful about 'wine experts' but wanted to learn a bit more about wine, & chose this volume. It's written with a sense of humour & in an easy, accessible style. Importantly, although serious & informative, Jancis Robinson isn't at alll pompous & doesn't take herself too seriously. She gives you the tools & guidance needed to improve your understanding & appreciation of wine, but doesn't try to tell you what to think.

An excellent starting point.

Nicely written -- a perfect introduction to wine - By: , 05 Oct 2000
Another faultless performance from Jancis Robinson. This is a readable, authoritative & nicely illustrated introduction to wine: highly recommended. The only possible criticism is that common to works of this sort, where space limitations mean that there's just too much compression of detail, & the author ends up trying to cram too much into too little space.
