Description

Wine and Other Drinks. Collins Nutshell Books by Rupert Croft-Cooke. The greater part of this book is about wine, which, says Rupert Croft-Cooke, "has become surrounded by so much mumbo-jumbo, cliches of the catalogue... and esoteric lecturing of wine-waiters, that we are apt to lose sight of the sublime simplicity of its origins and substance." Starting with some valuable advice on keeping a small wine cellar - "the cupboard under the stairs is often used with effect" - and on the first purchases, the author then discusses the serving of wine, in some detail but shunning affectation, before considering each of the major groups of wines. The dust jacket has light general wear bu the book remains tight and bright.
