Book excerpt: Featuring sixty-seven exceptional color maps as well as eighty-seven vivid images by photographer Hendrik Holler and others, this is the most comprehensive and up-to-date atlas of German wineÑa detailed reference to vineyards and appellations. The authors explain the geography of all the German wine-growing regions and provide independent analysis and ranking of the most significant vineyards in each region.

Beautifully produced, with helpful sidebars and succinct essays, this book will become the standard reference on the subject.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The wines of the Mosel and the Rhine have achieved a well-deserved popularity over the years; yet to the average consumer their confusing multiplicity of names and the elaborate gradations of their classification and quality present a problem. It is not always easy to tell the commonplace from the good or the good from the remarkable. In Wines of Germany, which was first published in 1956 and became recognized as a classic, Frank Schoonmaker’s friendly, impartial and comprehensive style provides all the information that the wine-lover needs. District by district, village by village, he leads the reader through “this most beautiful of all wine countries...rich in history and anecdote, in legend and salty proverbs, in tradition and, most important to the connoisseur—in good wine.” This is an expert’s book, but written in layman’s language: it is readable, authoritative, concise and complete.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Picturesque Rioja, Spain's most prominent wine region, is a new world within a very old world. Winemaking here dates to Roman and medieval times, and today modern wineries designed by Gehry, Calatrava, and other celebrity architects flourish alongside traditional villages. Lavishly illustrated with photographs of the people and landscape and with detailed maps, this guide ranges over a diverse area from Rioja to Navarra, Bierzo, Galicia, and the Basque country as it explores winemaking from the ancient to the traditional and modern. Written by a trio of experts on Spanish wine, it provides insider information on a region home to Spain's finest Tempranillo, its prestigious Albariño, and many other indigenous grape varieties such as Garnacha, Mazuelo, and Viura. The authors look in depth at topics including climate and soil, grape varieties, and viticulture, and profile more than 85 individual wineries. They also include information not available elsewhere: several top ten lists plus "secret addresses" for the best restaurants and shops in which to find aged and historic vintages of Rioja.

Book excerpt: At the beginning of this century German Rieslings were the most expensive wines in the world, commanding higher prices than the top growths of Bordeaux. Today, in their incomparably light and elegant style, they offer value for money unmatched by any other wine-producing country. During the past decade, German producers have been paying more attention to quality of their wines, reducing yields but enhancing their reputations. The wine world has noticed, and the consumer is beginning to aswell, meaning that there are more and better German wines in our stores all the times. The German Wine Guideprovides a region-by-region critique of individual vineyards and wines, including tasting notes and a price guide. The scope, while selective, is vast, taking in both the known estates of the Mosel and little-known vineyards crafting fine wines. The authors are considered the two most influential wine writers in Germany. As German wines continue to attract more attention, this will be the resource both for aficionados and amateurs.

Book excerpt: The remarkable untold story of France’s courageous, clever vinters who protected and rescued the country’s most treasured commodity from German plunder during World War II. "To be a Frenchman means to fight for your country and its wine." –Claude Terrail, owner, Restaurant La Tour d’Argent In 1940, France fell to the Nazis and almost immediately the German army began a campaign of pillaging one of the assets the French hold most dear: their wine. Like others in the French Resistance, winemakers mobilized to oppose their occupiers, but the tale of their extraordinary efforts has remained largely unknown–until now. This is the thrilling and harrowing story of the French wine producers who undertook ingenious, daring measures to save their cherished crops and bottles as the Germans closed in on them. Wine and War illuminates a compelling, little-known chapter of history, and stands as a tribute to extraordinary individuals who waged a battle that, in a very real way, saved the spirit of France.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Germanymight be the most misunderstood wine country on the planet. Hobbled by anidiotic wine law, labelling conventions that are nothing but quixotic tonon-German speakers and still settled with a residual Liebfraumilch image,German wine is confusing, even for experts. But despite this baggage Germanytoday is a vibrant, creative and progressive wine country at the very heart ofEurope. Wine is made in thirteen regions across four degrees of latitude. AnneKrebiehl MW, an acknowledged expert on German wine, showcases the new Germany(with far more clean-cut labelling) and gets rid of a few misconceptions andprejudices in the process. The wines of Germanyexplains Germany's intrinsicregionality and puts the country into context in terms of its climate andgeography. Krebiehl explains why rivers and slopes are so important to Germanviticulture and puts it in an economic context. She analyses Germany'sunusually fragmented producer base and its challenging climate and vintagevariation before examining in detail the wines of today's German regions.
