Description
Food and wine expert Killien Stengel presents two important books on the life and language of wines. Each book follows a question-and-answer format and has three levels of difficulty. Although these are serious books, the explanations include a full measure of humor. The first book, Le Grand QCM du Vin, is meant for the advanced student or wine professional; the second, Petit Quiz du Vin, is for every wine lover—and those with whom they share a toast.
Le Grand QCM du Vin
Wine is an increasingly important part of life in the United States. Most social events, from the largest wedding to the two-person celebration, and many professional events, from an art opening to the introduction of an exciting new product, include wine. As wine consumption has grown, so has the number of wine professionals and serious oenophiles. Le Grand QCM du Vin is for them. In question-and-answer form, it provides a deeper understanding of all aspects of wine: the grapes used in winemaking; how and where they are grown; and the process by which they are turned into wine, bottled, transported, and sold. This book is for people who are knowledgeable about wine but are thirsty for a fuller measure of information.
