More About This Book

Overview

This book brings together in a single volume everything worth knowing about wine. Wine is a wine atlas, a reference book, and a wine guide for all countries and wine-growing regions in the world. It is also an ideal guide to buying wine. Those wanting to brush up on their knowledge can read about everything from the basic rules of tasting to choosing the right wine for a meal, and from everyday life in the vineyard throughout the year to environmentally sound viticulture.

Every wine-growing country of the world is presented by experts in terms the layperson will appreciate. Numerous photographs and over 150 detailed maps provide an accurate overview of the region concerned. Explanations of the labels of interesting wines and recommendations of producers, domaines, châteaux, and wineries offer the reader pointers through the ever-growing maze of the worldwide wine industry.

André Dominé, born in Hamburg, started putting down roots in a wine-growing village in southern France in 1981. He learned there to prune and look after vines, working in a winery before publishing his first book on wine in 1986. He was one of the first journalists to write regularly about the wines of southern France, and since then he has sniffed and tasted his way through the vineyards and cellars of France, Spain, the United States, South Africa, and other interesting wine countries. In his articles in the well-known wine and food periodicals as well as in his books, André Dominé is an enthusiastic advocate of wine. In the CULINARIA series European Specialties, Organic & Wholefoods, and Culinaria France, he encourages his readers to seek out high-quality culinary experiences.

Food & drink has been the subject of Armin Faber’s photography for more than 20 years. In his worldwide travels he has taken over 200,000 photographs, which have been published in numerous cookbooks and wine guides. For the last ten years, Armin Faber has worked with Thomas Pothmann in Düsseldorf. At their studio, they specialize in still life, food, people, and promotional photography. Apart from work, they also share a love of wine and an enthusiasm for blues and jazz.

Editorial Reviews

From Barnes & Noble
Award-winning wine journalist André Dominé lives in a small wine-growing village in the south of France, but his expertise extends beyond any national boundaries. In fact, the mammoth (928 page) update of his classic wine reference offers detailed information and sound judgments on vineyards in China, South Africa, Germany, and Italy, among others. Enhanced by 1,500 illustrations and detailed maps, Wine tempts readers in to explore the varied productions of vineyards in 13 wine-producing regions and countries. A superb, attractive wine companion.
Publishers Weekly
The wines of South Africa, Italy, Germany, China and dozens of other countries and regions are explored in Andre Domine's gorgeous, gargantuan Wine. Incorporating a dizzying amount of information from a diagram of the olfactory mucosa to an exploration of proper vineyard soils, a discussion of the "Hades" method of wine maturation and recommendations about which white to have with oysters this tome is sure to please oenophiles and novices alike. And with more than 1,500 color illustrations detailed maps, vivid photographs of vineyards and snow-capped Alps by Armin Faber and Thomas Pothmann the book is as attractive as it is informative.

Library Journal
Both novice and experienced wine lovers will savor this lushly illustrated, gorgeously packaged introduction to the world of wine. After opening with a brief history of this intoxicating potable, it covers the basics on choosing, serving, tasting, and storing wine. Readers are then whisked into the vineyard to see how grapes are cultivated and into the winery to observe the bottling process. The book's focus then shifts from an overview of its subject to a detailed look at 13 different wine-producing regions and countries. Coverage of each region or country includes a historical overview, detailed growing maps, production details and statistics, and a selection of wine producers with samples of their labels. The Oxford Companion to Wine (LJ 12/94) will still be the first choice for libraries needing a basic reference to this subject, but with its sleek visual look and abundant illustrations and photographs, this volume by Domine (who edited Culinaria France) will be a valuable counterpart to this standard source. Recommended for both academic and large public libraries. John Charles, Scottsdale P.L., AZ Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information.

    unsurpassed work of breadth and depth on the field of wines

    The content of this book can be put: Everything you wanted to know about wine, but didn't know to ask. The book provides more information and answers more questions about wine than any one person could know there was to the subject. All of this content is made accessible for reference or for absorption for ones whose interest in wine is at this level by a well-organized, detailed Contents as well as the four indexes and glossary. The content is organized by countries with regions within these, including European countries, Australia and New Zealand, and South and North America. Introductory chapters cover the general topics of choosing, storing, and tasting wine, using wine in entertaining, and terroir, climate, and growing grape vines as a framework for the detailed and in parts specialized material of the following sections concentrating on wines according to geographical areas.

    The chapter on the wines of Italy serves as an example of the organization and content of all of the geographical chapters. History and background of the country's wines is accompanied by a detailed color map indicating the wine-growing regions. With Italy, there are 22 of these. This introductory part of each chapter alone provides interesting, useful, and colorful material beyond what all but wine experts are likely to know. The chapter then goes on to cover each particular region and its wines making use of maps, tables, and photographs to enhance the text. With some of the regions, there are tables of varying sizes calling attention to particular wines or producers by annotated entries and pictures of wine labels.

    The encyclopedic, comprehensive, authoritative work goes far beyond what one can learn about wine in newspaper wine columns, mass-market wine periodicals, and even many books on wine. Such columns, etc., are in fact usually limited and repetitious--whereas this work while necessarily relating some standard, familiar material, presents abundant material going deeper into the subject of wine. The work's chapters on the countries from all parts of the world are as good and better than most wine books on such country's and regions.

    In short for this voluminous book, it makes an ideal, incomparable gift, advanced course on wine, or reference for anyone interested in this alluring field involving history, human appetite, international commerce, agriculture, and other subjects.

    Superb effort!

    Domine's 'Wine' is a masterpiece, a triumph. He lucidly explains the wine-making process, from vineyard to bottle, and also describes in terrific detail the world's wine growing regions, and each of their respective 'strengths.' This literary creation is too expansive and diverse for one descriptive paragraph, but is well worth the money put towards its purchase.
