Books on Wine

What’s reliable yet fun to read? What’s indispensable?

We may inhabit a dominantly online (dis)information environment, but you could be forgiven for thinking otherwise considering how frequently new wine books keep appearing. I wouldn’t pretend to have read even one tenth of them. But I have read excerpts from at least that large a share, and many of the authors are familiar to me, if not personally (though that is true of several dozen), then from others of their publications. I therefore make so bold as to not only suggest books that offer expert guidance plus inspiration, but to suggest that among book-length publications in English, it would be a shame your spending time with any others on wine before making use of those I recommend.
