I read straight through a lot of it. But then I began skimming sections that I knew I wouldn't remember. It remains a good beginner book, and I'll keep it as a reference.

Oh, and there are a lot of beautiful pictures in here :)

Very helpful and informative introduction to the wine- in terms of world wines, varieties, the enjoyment of wine and how wine is grown and made. Useful reference for the future but a little dated given it was published in the early 1990s!
