Such a brilliant, attractive, educational and beautifully presented book. Infographics throughout. Great information, superbly illustrated. Makes for a easy understanding of everything ‘Wine’. By far the best Wine book ever produced.

I can thoroughly recommend Wine Folly to all, from the novice to the expert. I had the original version which was fundamental to my wine education and purchased this newer version out of curiosity. I am very glad I did, it is a complete rework of the original, with vastly more information. You will find yourself doing into the book again and again. If you only ever buy one book about wine, buy this one.

'Tis really a master guide with everything you need to naviguate and experiment in the (sometimes complicated) world of wine. Very well written, easy to understand and extremely helpful. You'll find all the basics, plus a very long list of grapes profile, info about wine regions and countries. Bought it twice so far!

We had the previous edition and we got this one as it had some extra chapters and a nicer look. It is exactly what we expected and wanted. But if you have the first book from Wine Folly, you should know that some of it is the same.

As an avid wine lover, I have explored numerous resources to deepen my understanding and appreciation of wine. After much contemplation, I finally decided to purchase "Wine Folly: Magnum Edition: The Master Guide Hardcover," and I must say, it was worth the wait. I took my time to write this review to ensure I fully appreciated the value this book brings, and now I can confidently say it’s a must-have for any wine enthusiast. Let’s start with the physical quality of the book. The material is excellent, and it’s evident that a lot of thought went into its design and production. The hardcover feels sturdy and durable, which is great because I know this is a book I will be referring to frequently. The pages are of high quality, thick enough to withstand regular use without tearing or creasing. The vibrant colors and high-resolution images make the book visually appealing, which adds to the overall experience of learning about wine. One of the standout features is the breadth and depth of information it provides. The book covers everything from the basics of wine, such as types of grapes and wine regions, to more advanced topics like wine tasting techniques and food pairings. Whether you’re a novice or someone with a bit more knowledge, there’s something here for everyone. The way the information is presented is clear and concise, making it easy to understand even the more complex concepts. I particularly appreciate how the book balances between being informative and accessible. It doesn't overwhelm you with technical jargon but still manages to convey a wealth of knowledge. This makes it a fantastic resource for those who are just starting their wine journey as well as those looking to expand their existing knowledge. The authors have done a remarkable job of breaking down intricate details into digestible pieces, which is no small feat. Navigating through the book is a breeze. The layout is logical and user-friendly, with well-organized sections that make it easy to find the information you’re looking for. Each section is clearly marked, and there’s a comprehensive index at the back of the book for quick reference. I love how the book uses infographics and charts to present data in a visually engaging way. This not only makes the information easier to absorb but also more enjoyable to read. The maps of wine regions are particularly helpful for understanding the geographic factors that influence wine production. Another aspect I appreciate is the practical advice the book offers. From tips on selecting the right wine glasses to recommendations for building a wine cellar, it’s packed with useful information that you can apply in real life. The section on food pairings is particularly enlightening. I’ve always been interested in how different wines complement various dishes, and this book provides clear guidelines that have helped me enhance my dining experiences. The tasting notes and profiles of various wines are another highlight. The book delves into the characteristics of different wine varieties, offering insights into their flavors, aromas, and ideal serving conditions. This has been incredibly useful for me as I explore new wines and try to identify the subtle nuances that distinguish one bottle from another. The detailed profiles help in understanding what to expect from each wine, making it easier to make informed choices whether I’m at a restaurant or shopping for a new bottle to add to my collection. One minor downside is that, while the book is comprehensive, it’s impossible to cover every single wine and region in the world. There are so many varieties and local specialties that it would be impractical to include them all. However, this is a minor issue considering the depth and breadth of the content that is included. The book does a fantastic job of covering the major wine-producing regions and varieties, giving a solid foundation that you can build upon with further exploration and tasting. In conclusion, is an exceptional resource for anyone interested in wine. The high-quality material, extensive and accessible information, and practical advice make it an invaluable addition to any wine lover’s library. It’s clear that a lot of passion and expertise went into creating this book, and it shows on every page. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to deepen your knowledge, this book is a worthy investment. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to enhance their understanding and enjoyment of wine. Cheers!

É um livro simples, leve, fácil de ler e didático. Por simples se deve entender o estilo leve e descontraído da autora, que tem uma preocupação em transmitir noções claras e seguras dos principais conceitos a respeito dos vinhos. Isso ajuda muito a começar a entender dos vinhos, das diferenças e a compreensão do que nos agrada mais e o que buscar nesse vasto universo vinícola. A qualidade das ilustrações (gráficos e desenhos) também ajuda muito, deixando a leitura mais fácil e intuitiva. Um livro que agrada tanto quanto um bom vinho e ajuda a prolongar esses grandes prazeres: do vinho e da leitura. Uma ótima opção para presentear quem gosta de ler, de vinhos e, principalmente, de ambos!
