The system of cross-references takes the reader from one entry to another, showing how all these topics are interconnected in the fascinating story of wine in its most traditional and modern forms. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis new fifth edition, which benefits from the knowledge and experience of over one hundred new contributors, all experts in their field or geographical region, is expanded by 272 new entries, and every existing entry has been reviewed, updated, and polished. The text is more international than ever, written for wine lovers of every persuasion, including those who love wine but want to know more in order to increase their enjoyment of this endlessly fascinating liquid, and those who are intent on studying wine, professionally or privately. This is a huge treasure trove of knowledge, for the first time breaking the barrier of one million words, but the alphabetical format and the links between the entries make it easily navigable, and the language, while not shying away from complex science, is intended to open the door to every curious reader looking for answers on every question they have ever wanted to ask about wine.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJulia Harding MW, \u003cem\u003eEditor of The Oxford Companion to Wine\u003c\/em\u003e, Jancis Robinson OBE MW, \u003cem\u003eFounding editor of The Oxford Companion to Wine\u003c\/em\u003e, Tara Q.
