An invigorating guide for tasting, naming, and visualizing the chromatic diversity of wine While smell and taste dominate the experience of sipping wine, Florence de La Riviére turns our eyes to its color, instead inspiring an artistic and visual approach to wine tasting. Throughout The Look of Wine, readers will meet winegrowers, oenologists, sommeliers, and scientists to weave a canvas of universal words representing the chromatic palette of wines. Alongside this descriptive vocabulary, original photography captures the authenticity of color while leaving room for interpretation. Each family of color is visually represented by a wine, with a description of its hues and the natural and human processes that contributed to creating it. Neither a directory of the colors of wine nor a technical encyclopedia, The Look of Wine is a living tribute to oenology's chromatic diversity, with a focus on still, unmutated whites and reds, as well as rosés.

The perfect gift book for Guinness lovers, served here. How did a beer from Dublin become a globally renowned symbol of Ireland?With just £100 in his pocket, Arthur Guinness left behind his family's small brewery in County Kildare to seek his fortunes in Dublin. Acquiring the ill-equipped St James' Gate brewery in 1759, he began to produce a porter beer that was to become world famous. Rory Guinness, scion of the famous brewing family, has written the insider's guide to the world of Guinness. He surveys the family history, the unique brewing process, the brewery's distinctive industrial architecture and the beer's legendary advertising, revealing how Guinness and its people became interwoven into the fabric of Dublin life and created a brewing legacy that continues to evolve. This is also the story of a remarkable resurgence, because Guinness is now the bestselling beer in the UK, while Guinness Zero is reaching new markets. It is the official beer of the English Premier League, and a long-term partner of rugby's men's and women's Six Nations Championship. World of Guinness is an expanded and redesigned edition of Rory Guinness's classic short introduction, illustrated with archival images, new photography of the Guinness Storehouse in Dublin and a selection of Guinness's witty advertisements. It is published in hardback for the first time and makes a perfect gift.
