Nothing beats a glass of champagne or sparkling wine for celebrating the special occasions in life or for pepping up an otherwise ordinary day. Jonathan Ray's "Bubbly" has all the vivacity and elegance of a glass of your favourite fizz. In it he reveals the essential facts and illustrious history behind champagne and sparkling wines, explains how the wines are made and looks at the wealth of styles available. With the basics considered, he comes to the best part--how and when to drink bubbly. Be it pure and unadulterated, or as part of a gorgeously decadent cocktail such as Bellini or a Black Velvet, fizz is impossible to resist. -As seductive as a tall flute of lightly chilled fizz, "Bubbly" celebrates the magic of champagne and sparkling wine -Wise and witty text form leading young wine writer Jonathan Ray
