Flawless: Understanding Faults in Wine

Flawless: Understanding Faults in Wine

<b>A <i>New York Times</i> Best Wine Book of 2018</b><br /><br /><i>Flawless</i> is the first book of its kind dedicated to exploring the main causes of faults in wine. From cork taint, to volatile acidity, to off-putting aromas and flavors, all wine connoisseurs have encountered unappealing qualities in a disappointing bottle. But are all faults truly bad? Are some even desirable? Jamie Goode brings his authoritative voice to the table once again to demystify the science behind what causes a good bottle to go bad. By exposing the root causes of faults in wine, <i>Flawless </i>challenges us to rethink our assumptions about how wine should taste and how we can understand beauty in a glass.
