If you're in doubt when reaching for a bottle of wine, Kevin Zraly can help. The newly revised 20th anniversary edition of his Windows on the World Complete Wine Course is an excellent reference at an excellent price. NEW YORK TIMES wine critic Frank Prial calls Zraly's book "one of the best start-from-scratch wine books ever written." It addresses hundreds of questions about grapes and wines, is written in a lively and witty style and has full color illustrations on every page.

The Windows on the World Complete Wine Course is simply the bestselling wine book in the United States—it’s a classic. And this new edition contains an additional 16 wonderful pages, including a featured supplement about the olfactory system and how it deepens our enjoyment of wine. Written in a question-and-answer format, the section is coauthored with Wendy Dubit, an expert on the subject. Plus, this unequaled volume retains all the invaluable information, fabulous illustrations, and gorgeous styling of the 20th anniversary edition. Wine lovers will still thrill to Zraly’s inimitable, irreverent style. As always, he answers every question about wine; offers the most up-to-date recommendations; provides advice on buying wine in stores and on the Internet; takes you on a country-by-country, region-by-region ratings tour of the latest vintages; and starts you on your way to becoming a wine connoisseur. Abundant full-color labels and maps complete the enticing picture. More current, more informative, more concise and precise than ever, this remains the wine guide against which all others are judged.
