Simple to Read, Informative enough for basics

This book is a really easy to read book as it has short notes, many pictures, less wordings, and suggestions for each different wine.Like the title, it lives up to the name. Too often, our problem is choosing the right wine for minimum dollar we pay. This book makes things much simpler. It offers the very basics of wine making and appreciation, and also goes right to the things we need and want to know. Also, how to prevent looking like a fool in a restaurant when you are trying to impress your date.All in all, I think this is a good book to look at if you want one to impress people with the wine you bought from the grocer, but if you want to impress people with knowledge of wine, find a thicker and more detailed book.
