Good, Better, Best Wines Book/Guide Review (April 27, 2010)

As much as Americans love the finer things, 90% of the wines bought in America are popular big brands that cost less than $15 a bottle—yet no one has ever compared them, until now. In Good, Better, Best Wines, a new book launched this week, wine expert Carolyn Evans Hammond ranks the most popular big brand wines by grape variety and price point, up to $15 per bottle. This book is particularly timely given America is drinking more wine than ever and is poised to become the world’s biggest wine consumer by 2012 according to The International Wine and Spirit Record.

In Good, Better, Best Wines readers will find:

  • The good, better and best big name wines under $5, $8, $11 and $15, for each major grape variety
  • Hundreds of bottle images, for easy recognition on the shelf
  • Jargon-free tasting notes
  • Perfect party wine recommendations for specific occasions
  • Trade secrets for getting the most out of each bottle

And because Good, Better, Best Wines focuses on the best-selling wines in the United States—think names like Beringer, Barefoot, Kendall-Jackson and Woodbridge—they’ll be stocked at the local store. These are the most widely available wines in America.
