First edition of this classic wine handbook. Small octavo, original cloth. Presentation copy, lengthily inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper, “For James Millett with every good wish from George Rainbird In Vino Verites.” Fine in a very good dust jacket. Foreword by Clifton Fadiman.
"Amateurs of wine have good reason to be grateful to George Rainbird... an ideal present for newcomers to winemanship. Unlike many other little books that are crammed with information, Mr. Rainbird's has its felicities of phrase... and some highly individual reminiscences of great wines" (London Observer).
