Illustrated with specially commissioned photographs (wine usually seems to be made in attractive surroundings) as well as maps, the books in this series describe the wine-producing regions of each country. The authors recommend itineraries, list wineries, describe the local cuisines, suggest wine bars and restaurants, and provide a mass of practical information - much of which is not readily available elsewhere. Each title includes: Itineraries and maps; Local gastronomic specialties; Hundreds of visitor-friendly wineries; Descriptions of local and regional wines; Museums and sightseeing points; Lists of wine festivals and exhibitions; Restaurants, hotels and wine stores; Reference section and glossary. France is the home of many of the world''s greatest wines - nowhere else will you find such a warm welcome awaiting you in the cellar. Every one of the country''s wine regions produces a unique selection of wines, often made with grapes used nowhere else for winemaking. Christopher Fiel
