To Ms De Mont:

    Try to get a current copy (1987 edition) of Hugh Johnson's Pocket Wine
Book, published in the UK by Mitchell-Beazley.  Not only does it contain,
in capsule form, a good deal of up-to-date information on wines in general,
it has "ratings" of wines from the major producing areas around the world,
and it's small enough to fit in a pocket of purse, so that you can take it
with you as a handy reference when you go to a liquor store or a restaurant.
Cost in England is L4.95 (about $7). I've seen it in some big city book
stores, but I'm not sure whether it's the latest edition.  Good luck.
