[...] Welcome, then, to the charming and wonderful world of wine. Once this book has taken us for a stroll- with a glass of wine in hand- through the geography and history of the vine, it shall introduce us to contemporary reality, analysing, as far as possible, the mysteries of this great pleasure, of this flaming drink.
The world of wine is large enough, it has room not only for the aficionado or the uninitiated, professionals or amateurs, but also for the simple inquisitive explorers, friends and admirers of Oenology. It is the inquisitive spirit of these people that so often brings such wonderful results to our dinner table.
