Have you ever wondered which glass goes with which wine? What wine-tasting experts are really doing? When sparkling wine becomes champagne? Who invented wine in the first place? Does meat go best with red and chicken with white? Will wine make you live longer? What's the difference between a Semillon, a Grenache, a Pinot and a Riesling? And whatever happened to Moselle? Philip Murphy grew up with wine - it's in his blood. He knows everything there is to know about wine and then some. Now at last we can benefit from a lifetime of knowledge, experience and passion from a man at the very heart of the business. What is Wine? Is a comprehensive but thoroughly straightforward look at this fascinating world. Murphy takes us through the history of wine, viticulture, the growing regions, the wine-making process, tasting and 'wine-speak', serving and combining with food, selection and investment and much, much more. He talks with wine-growers, wine-makers and people who cook with and write about wine. And peppered throughout are his own personal insights and reflections on the history and the future of a staggeringly successful national industry. This book is a must for the connoisseur, the enthusiast, the dabbler and anyone who just fancies a good drop.
