What Vino To Enjoy This Fall (September 1, 2010)

Wine consumption in the United States has skyrocketed, with our country poised to become the world’s biggest wine consumer by 2012, according to the British firm IWSR. And the vast majority of what Americans buy — and sip — is big-name brands that run for $15 or less.

“While wine snobs are swirling and sniffing expensive wines that are tediously hard to find, the rest of America is just drinking wine. Popular wine. Big brand wine,” says Carolyn Evans Hammond, author of Good Better Best Wines: A No-Nonsense Guide to Popular Wines.

“Big brands can spell terrific value,” she adds, “but you need to know which bottles to buy.”

Good Better Best Wines ranks the best wines by type and price up to $15, and offers tips to ensure you enjoy the best glass of wine for your buck. Wines are labeled in three categories: Good, Better, and Best (obviously), and by price ranges — denoted by dollar signs. The handy purse-sized book ranks America’s best-selling wines, offering a no-nonsense guide to big-brand labels.
