Wine Wars II: The Global Battle for the Soul of Wine de Mike Veseth
An update from the author's previous book, (it's been 10 years), he covers the economics of wine. Now, new things must be taken into account. Environmental shifts due to global warming. Demographic changes. It's all very technical. I like reading about wine, but this was a bit heavy for me. Perhaps it will appeal more to people invested in the wine industry.
Esta resenha foi escrita no âmbito dos Primeiros Resenhistas do LibraryThing.Using the familiar premise of Around the World in 80 days, Mr. Veseth explores the regions, the history, and the economic dynamic of wines from many countries. There is a disadvantage of listening to the book on CD as I did, because there is no opportunity to copy the recommendations. However, the book does a wonderful job of explaining wines. One will almost certainly walk away with more info than one had before reading.

joyceBl | outras 6 resenhas | Oct 30, 2018 | Esta resenha foi escrita no âmbito dos Primeiros Resenhistas do LibraryThing.This is an Early Review of the audiobook version of "Around the World in Eighty Wines: Exploring Wine One Country at a Time."
As a casual wine drinker I really enjoyed this trip, based loosely on Jules Verne's "Around in the World in Eighty Days."
The variety in different wines, from the more famous ones, to more exotic local ones, along with historical background made the book interesting and different from general wine guides.
If you have an interest in wine, or history, or best of both worlds - both, then this book is highly recommended. Even better is having a chance to sample some of the more commonly available wines mentioned in this book while reading, or listening to it in the audiobook version.
It's also a nice introduction to the wine world overall. A jovial journey in taste and diverse locales. (This was reviewed originally on Feb 1, 2018 - Reposted as the 1st Review is not showing)… (mais)

Esta resenha foi escrita no âmbito dos Primeiros Resenhistas do LibraryThing.Excellent book on wines. Taking the history and economics of wine, the author takes us around the world finding the best wines. At the same time giving us the history and economic impact of wines. What a trip and I now will begin to select wines from around the world instead of just American. Living in The Texas 290 Wine country we have lots of interest in wines. One disadvantage to the audio is you don't have have time to write down all the names of the wines at the end of each chapter. There are also hardback and paperback books of this title.… (mais)
