This fully revised and updated edition brings the rich history of winemaking to the present day, making it the perfect gift for any wine lover. Winemaking, as old as civilization itself, has evolved from its origins in ancient Mesopotamia to a global industry, intertwined with major social, cultural, religious, and economic changes. Oz Clarke examines over 100 bottles that signify key moments in the story of wine, highlighting innovations and discoveries that have shaped its journey. He explores the flavors, labels, vineyards, and influential figures from history, including medieval Cistercian monks of Burgundy and scientists like Pasteur and Peynaud, who enhanced winemaking techniques. Clarke discusses notable vintages, from the 1727 Rudesheimer Apostelwein to the first Montana Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc in 1979, as well as today's cult wines from Bordeaux and California. He also addresses the impact of climate change on winemaking globally. These narratives aim to make wine more relatable, encouraging readers to reflect on its past, present, and future. From the birth of wine culture in ancient Georgia around 6000 BC to the trends of today, Oz shares over a hundred stories, each revealing the rich tapestry of 'bottled poetry.'

From 1984 to 2004 OZ CLARKE'S WINE BUYING GUIDE has been the most authoritative, accessible and up-to-date guide to buying wine in the UK, the trusted bible of the wine trade and consumers alike. But, the growth in internet use has made the publication of detailed price comparisons in annual book form almost redundant.

The guide offers readers 250 wine recommendations from 'The Wine Man', culled from the thousands he has tasted. The book contains sections on: Best Buys and Supermarket Selections - Oz Clarke's 250 favourite wines for 2005; Buying Wine on the Web; Oz Clarke's Wine Style Guide; How to Taste Wine - a step-by-step guide and finally, a Retailers' Directory - featuring the best wine retailers in the UK.

Grapes & wines
- 320pagine
- 12 ore di lettura
The modern world of wine is rich with exciting and well-made wines, up-and-coming new wine regions and innovative winemakers, but the most influential factor determining the taste of a particular wine is still the grape variety or blend of varieties from which it is made. In this book, Oz Clarke and co-author Margaret Rand cover the 350 or so varieties that really matter, either because they are widely grown in the major wine regions of the world or because they are important ingredients of classic wines. Also included are 17 extended features on the classic grape varieties. Illustrated with photographs and maps, these special features give the reader an insight into the methods used to maximise each grape's potential and an appreciation of the people behind the production of the world's finest wines. An introductory section, "All About Grapes" explores the history of the vine, shows where grapes are grown today and provides information on what happens in modern vineyards and wineries.
