This landmark reference work chronicles the world's most celebrated vineyards, grape varieties, and wine-producing regions — from the storied hillsides of Burgundy and Bordeaux to the sun-drenched valleys of California — presenting an encyclopaedic yet deeply readable account of viticulture in all its complexity. This revised edition includes an updated section on American wines, reflecting the remarkable rise of New World winemaking and offering readers a thoroughly modern perspective on a tradition that stretches back millennia.\n\nWritten with the conviction of a true connoisseur, the text instructs both the initiated collector and the curious novice on the art of selecting, pairing, and appreciating wine with confidence and discernment. The prose carries an elegant authority, weaving together geography, history, and sensory description in a manner that illuminates not just what is in the glass, but the culture and craftsmanship behind every bottle. For anyone who has ever raised a glass and wondered about the world within it, this volume answers with breathtaking depth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50572305826011,"sku":"2026100011181-SECONDHAND","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/2e878353-4bf9-4426-a641-cc4c2be67fd7.png?v=1791166282","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100011181-secondhand-the-great-book-of-wine","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
