推薦 0 收藏 0 轉貼0 訂閱站台

今天和老婆去逛好市多內湖店，在圖書區發現一本很不錯的酒書，但是沒有標價，等問了服務人員之後，十分高興，因為太超值了，所以回家第一件事就是趕快分享資訊給大家。

這本Wines of the World (Eyewitness Companions是DK出版的，Amazon標價$30.00，76折特價$19.80，舊書區賣$16.00，嘿嘿嘿，好市多賣台幣369元。硬殼全彩，672頁，不買不行（還蠻多的，應該不用搶啦～）！

關於內容剪影，可以參考DK網頁：

Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Another image-laden installment in the Eyewitness Companions series, this primer takes a worldly approach to wine sampling. Each chapter addresses a different wine-growing country or global region, incorporating pictures of lush vineyards, color-coded maps and extensive sidebars. Detailed descriptions of both the wine-growing regions and the vineyards themselves, including phone numbers and Web sites, make this book a resource for both casual drinkers and connoisseurs whose travels take them to wine country. The visual emphasis of Eyewitness guides makes for an engaging layout, with photo spreads and reference maps adroitly packaging a sweeping topic. Delightful tangents abound, many given their own photo-rich spread. The one on crafting wine casks, for example, has images illustrating each step in the barrel-making process, and the one on the art of wine labels shows labels created by American film director John Huston and Swiss painter Hans Erni for Mouton-Rothschild. "Perfect Case" sidebars list the top bottles from every region—a concise addendum to the maps. The book begins with an overview of wine’s history and production, and concludes with reference tables on practical matters like reading a label, storing and serving, and pairing with food. Overall, this is a richly illustrated and lucidly structured primer that would move Bacchus himself to raise a toast.
