description: Beyond Flavour is a practical guide to wine tasting which will help wine professionals, students and amateurs improve their tasting skills and understanding of the world's wines. The book offers detailed descriptions of the key attributes of major grape varieties and wine producing regions, and argues that assessing a wine's structure – acid structure in white wines and tannin structure in red wines – is a more reliable indicator of a wine's identity than the traditional reliance on flavour.This second edition of Beyond Flavour , now available in hardcover for the first time, contains a broad range of new material not present in the first edition:Beyond Flavour includes analysis of wine style by country and region, tips for how to taste for quality, and approaches to blind tasting exam questions. Beyond Flavour is an indispensable guide to wine tasting for anyone seriously interested in understanding why wines taste like they do.
