When it comes to wine, your "wants" are pretty simple: a good wine, at a price you can afford, that's stocked at your local wine shop or supermarket. Good Better Best Wines gives you just that. It reveals in plain English, the good, better, and best wines available for the dollars you're willing to spend--up to $15--along with photos of clearly labeled bottles to make wine shopping easier.

And because Good Better Best Wines is the first book to rank the best-selling wines in North America--think names like Beringer, Kendall-Jackson, and Woodbridge--you bet they'll be stocked at your local store.

Inside you'll find:

*The good, better, and best big-name wines under $5, $8, $11, and $15 for each major grape variety

* Perfect party wines for specific occassions--weddings, dinners, backyard barbecues and more

* Trade secrets for getting the most out of each wine, including storage tips, serving techniques, and food pairings
