Great reading not to much stopping for breathing.
Voice matches this information sound’s European!
Just lovely and I’m on part three.

Sound.

Soon we'll get into the nitty gritty of every single region in France and their innumerous appellations. It's too much information and isn't very practical for a beginner.
The section of wine pairings is fairly shallow, which was a major disappointment. YouTube videos are far better.
This audiobook should have an accompanying PDF, but It doesn't. Very hard to recall and make sense of all the information dumped on you.
Still, I give 4 stars for enthusiasm.
Now I'll go find a better audiobook...
Hardly a beginner material

the author climbs into history of regions and each type of wine.
I actually ended up trying a few new wine thanks to his audio book.
I'd recommend this to anyone that enjoys history, science, and of course... wine.

cons:
-the last 15 years are missing, since it is an older book, and there are relevant changes in styles, trends, rising regions l, etc.
-old fashioned view of the author: e.g. the wine cellar starts with Bordeaux, Burgundy and Port.
conclusion: worth it
good historical overview
