  Illustrated by the well-known Australian cartoonist Roger Roberts, this charming, pocket-sized book explores the curious realm of wine terminology by creating a pictoral lexicon on the far side of a wine world where its language ( barnyard, exotic nose ) is taken literally. Throughout, wine educator Judy Valon gives a serious and solid primer on wine tasting, proper entertaining and serving procedures, and, of course, the functioning definitions of common tasting terms.

  Wine forms part of our daily lives - we drink wine to accompany good food, to celebrate or to relax after a hard day at work, and we have become much more sophisticated in our tastes. But when it comes to wine terminology, how much do we really understand? Forty humorous illustrations poke gentle fun at the jargon of the connoisseurs, lending new interpretations to phrases such as 'horizontal tasting'. With hilarious quotes from all manner of imbibers and sip-size lowdowns on wine styles and etiquette, Vine Lines has something to appeal to every wine lover.
