This book responds to a renewal of interest in fortified wines giving 750 examples from both old and new wine countries. It gives a clear and revealing explanation of how fortified wines are made, the time they are left lying down, choice of glasses and their geographical origins. It explains that fortified wines are versatile and varied and include dry aperitif wines in the shape of sherry, and satisfying after-dinner wines such as port. Dessert wines can be drunk with fruit, with creamy puddings or on their own. Roger Voss is author of the "Pocket Guide to French Regional Wines" and is editor of the Consumer Association's "Which Wine Guide".
