Boo! Scared? Don't worry, this wine won't hurt you. Even if it seems like it might at first.

The wine world is truly intimidating to the novice: obscure "appellations" and "terroirs," pompous people with their own bird-like language, and such a wide range of prices—go figure, is that two-thousand-ruble bottle really going to provide heavenly pleasure?

This book by professional sommelier and wine journalist Anton Obrezchikov explains in detail, yet without snobbery, how to stop being afraid of wine and start living it.

In 14 chapters, you'll learn:
- Should you be embarrassed by knowing nothing about wine?
- How to go to a store, bar, or restaurant, choose a good wine, and not screw up?
- Is white wine always paired with fish, and red with meat, and what to do if you really want to wash down your burger with wine?
- Is there any real point to tasting or is it just a way to weed out the "outsiders"?
- and much more!

The ironic language and terribly funny illustrations inside will give you +50 points to your fearlessness, and the summaries and homework assignments at the end of the chapters will help you put your new knowledge into practice.
