Many oenophiles have difficulty pronouncing the names even of familiar wines. Bellucci's simple pronunciations are easy to follow, especially with the numerous examples that she provides. Although not noted in the book's title, there are also tables of Spanish and Portuguese wine words. The comprehensive lists of chateaus, personal names, and grape varieties make this a very useful book for wine connoisseurs, restaurateurs, and world travelers. You won’t learn a new language, but you will be able to ask for any wine by name.
