    Questions you may have about wine: How is it made? How long has wine existed? What is the best way to taste wine? Which type of wine will be best suited to my meal? Which country produces the most wine in the world? What’s the difference between Shiraz and Syrah? BabyBird answers these questions and more in a concise and easy format with a fun style. Links to resources are included, all the research is done for you!
    The BabyBird Guide to Wine begins with a brief history of wine, providing an explanation on the most popular grapevines and how they came into existence. Understand how grapes are cultivated and eventually end up as wine in a bottle. Over a dozen grape types are explained, including interesting facts about each grape, the types of tastes you can expect, the optimal serving temperature and food-pairing ideas. For those looking for additional help in how to order wine in a restaurant, you won’t be disappointed! Wine labels are demystified and tips for buying stemware will help you select the best glass for wine-tasting adventures.
    There is something in this guide for every level of wine-drinker, whether you’ve been tasting for years or are just getting started. Learn more about the wine you drink with The BabyBird Guide to Wine, a launch pad for further research, a handy e-reference while on the go, or a complete resource to get your taste buds going!
