description: Revised and updated, with more lists of "bests" and a guide to the Internet, this is the pocket annual that wins "hands down" on "style and ease of use" ( Wine Spectator ). The 2001 edition of Oz Clarke's acclaimed guide is completely updated and laced with his famously witty and opinionated recommendations and warnings about the world's wines. This edition brings even more of Clarke's picks of the best wines in many categories and a look at the new opportunities provided by the Internet. Distinguished particularly by its ease of use, Oz Clarke's Pocket Wine Guide provides more than 1,600 entries covering every aspect of wine today. Clarke's intuitive A-to-Z format ensures that you will find the wine you are looking for, wherever it comes from. In addition, Clarke discusses how wine is made, modern wine styles, storing wines, vintages, and the world of winemaking from Germany to New Zealand. PRAISE FOR OZ CLARKE "Sharp without being sarcastic, witty without being flippant, he communicates well with novice and knowledgeable wine enthusiasts alike." - Wine Enthusiast "These lively, informative, well-written books from this multitalented wine writer offer candour and lively prose....The witty Oz Clarke is also a terrific taster." -Robert Parker
