The publisher calls it America's bestselling wine book, now fully revised, updated, and in colour. The third edition of Karen MacNeil's The Wine Bible runs to 736 pages and is written to be comprehensive, entertaining and authoritative in equal measure, grounding the reader in vineyards and varietals, climate and terroir.
New to this edition are chapters on Great Britain, Croatia and Israel, a section on wine in the ancient world, fully revised Great Wines sections with recommended bottles for each country and region, and expanded chapters on France, Italy, Australia, South America and the United States. The grape glossary now covers more than 400 varieties, and the Mastering Wine section incorporates the latest research on taste and smell.
More than 400 photographs appear in full colour for the first time, alongside maps, labels and illustrations throughout. Workman Publishing Company published the third edition on 11 October 2022. The trade paperback is listed at $39.99, with a revised hardcover also available.
