As you probably know the world of wine is a little bit complicated, or should I say was complicated, until Richard Betts decided to simplify it in his book The Essential Scratch and Sniff Guide to Becoming a Wine Expert: Take a Whiff of That.
As one of the 200 master wine sommeliers in the world Betts was the first one that came up with the scratch n' sniff approach, even though he hates snobby wine jargon.
With a humorous and direct approach he introduces the basic components of wine by helping readers sniff their way to expertise. He perfectly illustrates different types of wine by breaking them down by color, grape, region, and even the type of wood they’re barreled in.
The photos and smells that the book contains reveal the flavors and hold all the fun, as it guides the reader to find out what he or she really likes to drink.
