Home Good Better Best Wines The Single Mothers Chronicles Review

What Wine Will You Buy? (April 23, 2010)

By Swati

Ok, so you’re in charge of bringing the wine for tonight’s dinner…and if you are like me, you head to the store to stare at the sea of brands in your price range…still being no closer to a thoughtful decision than you were at home. I want to spend less than $10.00; how do I know if I should be getting Yellow Tail Merlot , Beringer’s Stone Cellars Merlot, or the Barefoot Merlot? They all look the same from a foot away! Well, I shall worry no longer because Good, Better, Best Wines: A No-Nonsense Guide to Popular Wines has saved me! Carolyn Evans Hammond (a well-known wine writer) has collected and recommended the good, better and best wines ranging in cost from under $4.99, $5.00-$7.99, $8.00-$10.99, and $11.00-$15.00.

This book focuses on wines’ under $15.00 (which by the way accounts for 90% of the wines sold in the US!) and saves you from and endless talk about the wood used for the aging barrel and what a reductive note is…when all you want to know is what.wine.to.buy. While there are educational elements in the book (which I enjoy if I am at a winery, but not when I have 15 minutes to get to a party), the focus is on helping you make a quick and easy decision. You can purchase the book via the Amazon links below – and I have also added the book’s official press release below if you would like to read more about it.

Can I just say how happy I am to have this book on my shelves? Very.

Enjoy!
