author: Hachette
description: Serious and informed wine lovers eagerly await the yearly appearance of the <i>Hachette Wine Guide</i> , which in more than 1,300 pages of tiny print scrutinizes the best of France's current vintages. As an identification and buying guide for oenophiles it stands above the crowd, cataloging and rating the best 9,000 French bottlings. Arranged by producer within region, the guide provides every conceivable statistic on wine production and consumption. Prescriptive as well as descriptive, its tasting notes give useful advice to anyone looking to select an appropriate vintage. Triple levels of indexing help one locate listings from almost any point. Appendixes cover wines from Luxembourg and Switzerland. Libraries need this volume both for travel and for food collections. <i>Mark Knoblauch</i><br /><i>Copyright  American Library Association.
