Spit or swallow: A guide for the wine virgin - Jenny Ratcliffe-Wright

Wine, like foreplay, requires a little effort. Most wine virgins can swirl, sniff and slurp with consummate ease, but knowing whether to spit or swallow is the realm of the seasoned professional. Spit or Swallow gives you licence to enter the world of wine – in a fun, fresh and undemanding way.

Written by Jenny Ratcliffe-Wright, a young wine master (mistress?), this book will broaden your wine knowledge, taking you beyond the Bare Essentials. It describes the Perfect Relationship – between food and wine – and offers Tongue Pleasers guaranteed to enhance your taste. But it doesn't stop there. It goes all the way, literally, through to Pillow Talk – wine terms that will get you out of a sticky situation.

Spit or Swallow is written for those wishing to know more than the difference between a shiraz and a merlot. It's for those who wish to become great lovers ... of wine.
