Something in the Cellar . . .

Have you ever witnessed the Ancient, Noble (and Secret) Ceremony of Slashing the Trockenbeerenauslese? Or the Inauguration of the First Authentic Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita? Have you attended the Vinolympics, tasted Ptolemy Nouveau or watched the Uncorking of the Kangarouge?Unless you can answer 'yes' to at least one of these questions, your initiation into the mysteries of wine and its production has scarcely begun. Let Ronald Searle, in his own inimitable way, introduce you to to the time-honoured Wine Cermonies of the World: from USA (Blessing the Grapes - California Style) to the Far East (the Japanese Wine Ceremony); from Scotland (the Sqeezing of the Bonnie Malted Grape) to South Africa (Colourful Ceremony of Offering Limited Recognition to the Black Grape) - and in passing, let him show you how many ways there are to open a bottle of wine.A brilliant successor to 'The Illustrated Winespeak', its outrageously perceptive humour makes it a must for vintners and wine imbibers throughout the world.
