This is a fun but respectful (and very comprehensive) guide to everything you ever wanted to know about wine from the creator and host of the popular podcast Wine for Normal People, described by Imbibe magazine as "a wine podcast for the people".

More than 60,000 listeners tune in every month to learn a not-snobby wine vocabulary, how and where to buy wine, how to read a wine label, how to smell, swirl, and taste wine, and so much more!

Rich with charts, maps, and lists - and the author's deep knowledge and unpretentious delivery - this vividly illustrated, down-to-earth handbook is a must-have resource for millennials starting to buy, boomers who suddenly have the time and money to hone their appreciation, and anyone seeking a relatable introduction to the world of wine.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

This was exceptionally well researched and presented. The information is easy to follow and understand. Yes, it will take practice and some trial and error, but this book sounds like it will make taking the journey into researching new wines exciting.

Elizabeth’s expert guidance is a must have resource for those who want to learn about wine and those who already love it. She candidly delivers the right amount of information with humor and clarity. I have the hard copy book and the Audible version and have worked my way through both at least twice. Her Wine For Normal People podcast and wine classes are fantastic!

Outstanding - Must Have Resource

What can I say I’m not sure what I liked better the contents of the book or how Elizabeth read it! Fantastic read for someone. like myself, that is just starting to learn about wine and just needs the basics but then just a little bit more. Thank you Elizabeth I loved it so much that I also bought the hardcopy.

I have been in and around wine for most of my career. A chef's life is full of food and drink, with the latter being the customary "bath after a long day" affair. A few winery's, cheeses and girlfriends later you tend to get introduced to the wine scene just by chance or dumb luck. But as most people will tell you, it's not the most welcoming of societies. So finally ready to do more than just drowning a bad day with a jug of sweet red plonk that leaves you felling no worse for the wear and no wiser in the process, I decided I needed to understand more about this alluring fermented beverage. So I nabbed this audio-book because several reviews and some sommeliers had this book in their top 10 or so "Must Read Wine Books". It's not normal, it's not really for normal people. That's not saying it's bad, it just means that you should know something about wine before you pop the cork on this 14 hour bath of knowledge. Regions, areas of interest, a few grape varietals and understand at least the basics. If not, you will probably listen for an hour or two, your mind will wonder and then loose interest. Again, not bad, just not for normal people in my humble opinion. If you care about the craft, want to further your knowledge about history of wine, understand the process that goes into wine making and the hundreds of hands that touch the bottle you're about to open, then go get this NOW. Amazing from top to bottom. Just understand, after you read this book, you will no longer be normal, at least in the subject of wine anyways.

Entertainingly narrated, this book provides a condensed version of everything most people want to know about wine, from wine making to regional characteristics and food pairing, while still giving enough detail to be interesting to those with more knowledge. Elizabeth struggles with German pronunciation, but that is the only fault I can find.

I will use this book as a reference in my wine journey and will seek out suggestions the author recommends. I throughly enjoyed this wine book. The author explains so many areas of the Wine World that I now am excited to continue my education even though I will only use the information as a normal person. Well done!

A must read!
