After Europe, Latin America is one of the major wine producing areas of the world, yet very little has been written about its wines. This title follows the transformation of winemaking in these countries, examines in detail each of the wine-growing areas, and explains how these now extremely popular wines were, until relatively recently, more or less unknown. There are details of more than 230 producers, from Peru to Cuba, with insight into the challenges faced by some of the lesser known countries and regions. It also explains the role of other internationally respected wine names such as Torres, Mondavi and Rolland.

This book examines the white wines of Burgundy which built up its reputation mainly with red wines and is now increasing its production of white wines. The consumption of wine, especially white wine, has increased over recent years throughout the developed world and the Burgundy region has increased its production of white wines, particularly Chardonnay and Chablis, as a result of this. White wine production now accounts for 40% of the total in the wine region of Burgundy, excluding the Rhone. In this work, the author examines several of the Burgundy whites and covers their history, their production and their role as an accompaniment to the food of the region. He also gives the names of recommended producers and suppliers' addresses.
