Reviews

[Robert · Rating 2 out of 5]

This was a challenging read for me in French. The book is made of of single page comics about wine involving some colorful characters. I had some trouble with some of the vocabulary and expressions but was able to understand most of it without having to look things up. In the back of the book there is some information about the region and wines produced. I think I would have enjoyed this more if I knew more about wine. Still, I was able to understand the little stories and got most of the jokes. I enjoy wine but only have a little knowledge about the subject. So, this was just okay for me. I mostly wanted to see if I could read it as a way to work on my French reading.
