30 DAYS OPEN PURCHASE'A funny book with self-deprecating humour that still doesn't compromise on facts', is how someone who's read it describes Wine for Normal People. Elizabeth Schneider, who also hosts the podcast Wine for Normal People, is a trained sommelier, certified wine specialist, holds an MBA, and classifies herself as a "normal person" (though not officially certified as such, according to our sources). The book flings open the doors to the otherwise snobbish and stuck-up wine world and makes it accessible to everyone. Without ever using a word you've never heard before, you're guided through how to describe flavours, buy wine, read a label, sniff, swirl, taste and much more. The book is generously illustrated with maps, lists and graphs that suddenly make it feel completely logical to work out which grape grows at which Château, or to spot the difference between a suspiciously fancy label that signals a high-quality wine and a suspiciously fancy label that signals you'd better line up a designated driver tonight. In short, a thoroughly modern handbook that genuinely and honestly holds your hand on the journey from total beginner to card-carrying wine snob.
