Wine Spectator’s Ultimate Guide to Buying Wine, Eighth Edition

Published by at under Wine Books

Here’s something no wine aficionado should be without. The experts at Wine Spectator magazine have tasted tens of thousands of wines to provide oenophiles with a complete reference of exceptional wines from around the world. Because it guides its readers to only the most satisfying selections, the Wine Spectator, one of the foremost publications on the subject of wine, is valued for the select reviews that appear in each issue. This comprehensive buying guide includes more than 10,000 listings, representing all recent vintages from 40 countries, organized by both wine and country of origin. Each entry includes a full review and rating. Make no mistake—these are the most interesting wines available, all rated on Wine Spectator’s unique 100-point scale. This is the only volume that gathers all the results of the magazine staff’s most current tastings into one convenient resource, and along with our other successful Wine Spectator titles, it’s sure to be a strong addition to our successful wine and spirits category.

Customer Review: A new format that is not as useful

Past issues of the Wine Spectator Ultimate Guide included all of the past vintages for each wine listed. This one is departure from that, and only covers a short window (couple of years) for each wine. If I had know that I wouldn't have bought it.

Customer Review: Invaluable reference book for all wine drinkers/collectors

No serious wine buyer/collector should be without this. Easy to use reference guide, with ratings against multiple vintages. I have yet to find a wine not listed in here, and the only downside is that this much information does not fit in a handbag (so memory is required for restaurant ordering)!
