I listened to the audiobook in my car and I learned a lot, but the reader rattled off the names of french, italian, german, etc. wines so quickly and in the accent of the country that I couldn't catch the names at times. Also, because I am not familiar with many of those wines, the foreign locations and the varieties, I am thinking it would have been better to have the book, as I could then take it with me during purchases. I learned terms like "finish" and "legs" but I think some of it would be better learned while tasting the wine and discussing it with knowledgeable people. Perhaps after I gain more experience, I can listen to it again and it will be more helpful. ( )
