The Oxford Companion to Wine

A must have resources for anyone interested in wine!

Not only is this book stunning for my coffee table, it has so much information and wisdom about wine, I absolutely love reading it, and I would have recommended to anyone looking to learn more about wine

Great book, DENSE! I usually love thorough books that have more info than I need but this takes it to a whole new level. Arrived in great condition and was accurately described.

Comprehensive and incredible resource for anyone who loves wine. I can't imagine even most elite sommeliers would be beyond the scope of knowledge in this book. Buy this, the "World Atlas of Wine" by Johnson and Robinson, "The Wine Bible" by McNeil, and "Wine Folly" by Puckette and Hammack, you will have the essential home library of wine reference books circa 2025.

a marvelous compendium of wine knowledge... to which I refer at least weekly. Thanks Jancis, J

Highly recommend this for all wine lovers, whether you are just beginning your wine journey or a seasoned pro. Stylish presentation, complemented by a well-organ sized layout and up-to-date information, this is a must for all wine aficionados

This book has entries for the vast majority of wine and related terms. I just wish it had pronunciation keys as well.

I am a professional sommelier (CMS L2 certified, WSET L3) and craft cocktail bartender. IMHO, The Oxford Companion to Wine (5th ed.) is still the best available wine encyclopedia in a single volume. Over the last 25 years, I have owned four of the five printed editions of the Oxford Companion, and I have found it to be the single most indispensable wine reference in my work. It is has been continually updated, enlarged and improved over its history, and I strongly recommend it for both wine professionals as well as amateur oenophiles who simply want to learn more about wine (or authoritatively settle arguments among friends!).
