Wine for Normal People: A Guide for Real People Who Like Wine, but Not the Snobbery That Goes with It

This is an introductory primer to drinking wine for viticultural beginners, sharing a title with the podcast run by the author Elizabeth Schneider. Here she attempts to teach the newly interested in wine how to choose and buy wine, how to read and understand a label, drinking it, and much more! She does so in a manner that aims to be unpretentious and accessible—with the goal of skipping the snobbery so more people will feel comfortable trying and learning about wine and wine culture. It has plenty of images like maps and charts, lists, and more that will explain the history of wine. There is plenty of practical advice on tasting and understanding notes, drinking etiquette and some of the rules that daunt people, as well as much more approachable info.
