Wine Tasting Book for Beginners: Ultimate Wine Tasting Guide
()
About this ebook
Often find yourself scouring alcohol stores for new flavors to experiment with?
Do you value wine for more than its intoxicating effect?
In that case, this is the book for you. You will learn how to properly host wine tasting parties, social events dominated by the consumption of wine not for intoxication, but for the knowledge of the different processes preceding the final product and how each of those individual processes -- as well as circumstances -- contribute to the flavor of the wine. Not only will you learn how to identify properties of wine based only on sight, but you'll learn to truly appreciate the beverage for what it is, not what it does.

Generally, your output is directly affected by your input (type of grapes). If you want, you can mix several different kinds of grapes
