Wine Folly became a sensation for its inventive, easy-to-digest approach to learning about wine. The Magnum Edition is the expanded hardcover version, presented by the publisher as a James Beard Award winner and built for readers who want to take their wine knowledge to the next level.
Inside are more than 100 grapes and wines colour-coded by style, a wine region explorer with detailed maps of the top wine regions as well as up-and-coming areas such as Greece and Hungary, and wine labelling and classification guides for France, Italy, Spain, Germany and Austria. An expanded food and wine pairing section sits alongside a primer on acidity and tannin, pitched so the reader can taste like a professional.
Madeline Puckette is a certified sommelier with the Court of Master Sommeliers whose design work has been contracted by Wines of France, Wines of Bordeaux and the Court of Master Sommeliers, among others. Justin Hammack is Wine Folly's founding partner, leading conceptual development and the site's interactive tools. Avery published the 320-page hardcover on 25 September 2018 at $40.00.
