The definitive book for any wine novice.

What’s the best corkscrew to use? Should I decant? How many types of glassware should I buy?

Sommelier Kathleen Bershad has the answers. Put a Cork in It delves into the nitty-gritty details of winemaking and takes a look at the world’s major wine regions. Readers will learn tricks of the trade and strategies for navigating the shelves of a retail store or ordering wine at a restaurant. Written in short bites, readers will easily gain a quick understanding of an area’s major grapes, the style or styles of wine, and the appellations that offer the best quality wine (or the best value).

Topics include:

What you’re tasting when you taste wine
Conquering the restaurant wine list
Navigating the wine shop
Serving, sipping, and storing
And more!

Put a Cork in It unravels the terms you see when reading a wine review, looking at a bottle, or listening to a wine geek talk vino. By the end of this helpful guide, readers will become empowered to know what’s in a bottle, be able to make an educated guess about its flavours, and help change the culture to make drinking wine what it should be — relaxing and fun.
