Life Beyond Liebfraumilch: Understanding German Fine Wine

Over 100 varieties of wine from German vineyards are examined by this guide, which introduces many little-known producers of wines that offer value for money, explains how crude commercialization has produced a renewed commitment to quality and classic wine styles, points out famous names that can no longer be relied upon and provides helpful information on underrated wines. Stuart M. Pigott is a regular contributor to "House and Garden", "Decanter" and "Drinks International" magazines, and has spent many years researching wine production in Germany.
