Yes, search here. (And in predecessor newsgroups rec.food.drink and
net.wines.) Google "Advanced Groups Search" works well.

The subject is perennial, literally. Very perennial My first posting on
wine books turned 21 years old, this month.

Wow! 1983? I had barely heard of digital watches and electronic calculaters
back then.

Anyway, I like Oz Clarke's New Essential Wine Book. Plenty of info. and good
maps for someone new to wine but unpatronising style.

(Digital watches -- never did care for them myself. Never owned one.)

Anyway the subject of recommendations of wine books does keep coming up and
because of that, a wealth of still-useful information and perspectives is on
hand in the online archives of these newsgroups, along with whatever new
information the question may prompt. But on this subject more so than most,
the content lies mostly in the archive. Look and see.

Good info, thanks. (That's archived too, now.)

Both emerged in the first half of the 1970s.
