Around the Wine World in 40 Pages: An Exploration Guide for the Beginning Wine Enthusiast

By: Andrew Cullen

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Around the Wine World in 40 Pages: An Exploration Guide for the Beginning Wine Enthusiast takes readers on a journey throughout the most popular and notable wine growing regions in the world. The book provides an inside perspective on what wine drinkers at all experience levels need to know about the grapes and styles from each region, along with the price points and suggestions on specific wines to try. The book covers varietals and regions including Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Pinot Noir, Shiraz/Syrah, Zinfandel, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, France, Italy, Spain and Germany/Austria. Each chapter concludes with a checklist of notable wines to try that are representative of each region and varietal. Around the Wine World in 40 Pages: An Exploration Guide for the Beginning Wine Enthusiast was not written as the end-all guide for everything you need to know about wine. Rather, it presents the information in a condensed format that can be absorbed quickly and effectively to help readers chart a course forward with their wine education and exploration. Andrew Cullen has authored and co-authored four non-fiction books including "Decoding Italian Wine: A Beginner's Guide to Enjoying the Grapes, Regions, Practices and Culture of the "Land of Wine," "Decoding French Wine: A Beginner's Guide to Enjoying the Fruits of the French Terroir," "Around the Wine World in 40 Pages: An Exploration Guide for the Beginning Wine Enthusiast" and "New Customers Now: Using the Web's Best Free Tools to Market Your Small Business." He is a digital marketer for a global 100 brand and the founder of several websites including CostcoWineBlog.com and ToysBulletin.com.

Virtual Voice Ruins It

This book,narrated by virtual voice is not for someone who wants to truly learn about wine. Many of the narrations are just plain wrong! “Petty Ver-dot” instead of “petite verdoh” for the petite Verdot varietal. If I was new to wine I’d learn how to incorrectly say things… and the book has pronunciations in it. I would hope with the next iteration of virtual voice from AI, this will be improved. Otherwise, great book for beginners.
