Accessible and compact, yet thorough and informative, this history of wine use and wine making will find readers among students of the industry as well as curious wine drinkers of both novice
and experienced vintage. Estreicher, a physics professor at Texas Tech U., shares his enjoyment of the subject in this well-written history, clearly a labor of love and long-term study. Some
illustrations support the text--small, b&w digital reproductions that do the job without pretension. Annotation 穢2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
