THE NEW WINE RULES

In the spirit of gifty, unfussy wine books like Wine Folly, THE NEW WINE RULES is a concise, accessible guide combining no nonsense expertise with a stylish illustrated aesthetic.

THE NEW WINE RULES covers 101 topics on drinking, buying, storing, and sharing wine—told as very short lessons with highly editorialized illustrations to go along with each. For example: (1) You'll never need to own more than two types of wine glass. (2) Smell the cork. It really does tell you something. Smell the glass before you pour wine in. (3) If you've heard of the Champagnes on the list, you're probably paying too much for them.

This fun, informative, and stylish book will be the ultimate holiday gift for the new generation of wine buyers.
