Was bedeutet es, einen Wein richtig zu „verkosten”? Was sagt die Farbe über ihn aus? Wie beeinflusst das Alter den Geschmack? Und worauf muss man beim Einkaufen achten? Für alle, die solchen Fragen bisher eher ratlos gegenüber stehen, ist dieses Buch: 'Workshop Wein' zeigt, dass es gar nicht so schwierig ist, sich Weinkenntnisse anzueignen. Mit vielen Infografiken wird vermeintlich kompliziertes Sommelier-Wissen erklärt. So wird das Sprechen über sowie das Verkosten und Kaufen von Wein anschaulich gezeigt und außerdem Grundwissen zu wichtigen Rebsorten und bedeutenden Weinregionen vermittelt. Etwas ganz Besonders sind die 12 vergleichenden Weinverkostungen: Sie lernen hier, unterschiedliche Weine miteinander zu vergleichen – anhand von Süße und Säure, Frucht und Eiche, Körper, Tannin und Kohlensäure – und Ihren persönlichen Geschmack zu erkennen und zu schulen. Mit dem praxisnahen Kurs werden Sie innerhalb kurzer Zeit zum Weinkenner!
