Each chapter of the Encyclopedia is arranged on a country-bycountry
basis, within which each wine region is dealt with;
any districts within regions are examined, as are any smaller
winemaking areas in each district. Within each chapter, there are
two basic types of page: general introductory text and taste guides.
Introductory text has three regular features, “Label Language,”
“Recent Vintages,” and “Factors Affecting Taste and Quality,”
which may be given at either the national or regional level (see
below). Taste guides are variously entitled: “The Appellations
of…”; “The Wine Styles of…”; and “The Wine Producers of….”
USING THIS BOOK
Where appropriate—in Bordeaux, for example—a listing of generic
appellations provides an overview before the author deals with the
more specific appellations. Various levels of information may be
included in the Taste Guides, depending on the importance of a
wine and/or its producer. Look for red, white, rosé, and sparkling
tasting notes, with symbols denoting other information as detailed
below right. When consulting the encylopedia for a comment on a
particular wine, look up the wine producer in the index. If you find
that the producer is not listed, then look up the wine’s appellation
or style (by country or region).
