The great thing about buying wine is that you have so many vintages and so many labels to choose from. However, this multitude of choices is also daunting -- and risky, too, when you consider the expense that is sometimes involved. Fortunately, Wine Buying Companion For Dummies comes to the rescue with concise evaluations you can trust. Just as in their other wine guides, Red Wine For Dummies, White Wine For Dummies, and Wine For Dummies, authors and connoisseurs Ed McCarthy and Mary Ewing-Mulligan talk about wine in terms that make sense and that really mean something. You'll find complete sentences -- not the poetic but abstract strings of adjectives you may find in many other wine guides. Take this handy guide with you whether you're purchasing wine from a supermarket, wine shop, tasting room, or even over the Internet. You'll be able to try out new wines and more than likely be pleasantly surprised for a change.
