Wine is a living and changing expression of life itself. It has a birth, it reflects the places it is raised, it matures in its making and declines with time. Wandering through the art and science that makes the delectable drop, you will find a rich tapestry of human existence revealed. When all is said and done, wine is only a drink frothing, swirling and flickering over your tongue, but look deeper and it becomes more complex in its antiquity, flavour, diversity, colour and quality. Robert Geddes is a Master of Wine and has studied, drunk and slept in some of the world's most famous vineyards and wineries. This is his irreverent yet comprehensive guide to growing, making and drinking wine.
