Madeira : The Mid-Atlantic Wine Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

Who does not know the phrase 'Have some madeira, m'dear'?

Madeira is one of the world's greatest wines, with a fascinating history few others can equal.

Capable of evolution over decades and with seemingly indefinite longevity, precious centenarian bottles are sought by wine connoisseurs world wide, but to the ordinary wine lover more commercial wines offer a wide range of delicious and varied drinking.

Once dismissed as a cooking wine, discriminating drinkers enjoy it on its own and, increasingly, as an accompaniment to food.

Over a million tourists visit this small island every year, and expanding export markets indicate that the recent revival of interest in madeira continues to gain strength.

This book, originally published in 1998, was short-listed for the Andre Simon Award and quickly established itself as a wine classic.

Alexander Liddell, recognised as the leading authority on madeira, has known the island and its wine for over forty years, and this completely revised new edition brings matters up to date.
