Knowing a wine and reading one are not the same thing. In Reading Wine, wine educator and Master of Wine Jean Charles Viens sets out a clear framework for making sense of the glass in front of you: place a wine before you judge it, judge it fairly on its own terms, and understand why it became what it is. Style asks what kind of wine this is. Quality asks how well it has succeeded. Learn to separate the two, and wine becomes legible. Written for students, professionals, and any thoughtful wine lover, this is a practical and humane guide to clearer judgement, fairer tasting, and greater pleasure.
