The 2016 Guide contains full tasting notes of every Gold and Silver medal winning wine from the Champagne & Sparkling Wine World Championships 2015, in addition to all Best in Class and National trophy winners, plus the very latest Sparkling Winemaker of the Year, Chairman’s Trophy and, of course, the Supreme World Champion.
Tom Stevenson has tried to squeeze most of his technical knowledge of sparkling wine production and its related issues into the front chapters and the Micropedia (formerly the Glossary, but after this year’s additions, which amount to a 26% increase, it has become a miniature encyclopedia). The aim was to make it he most compact, comprehensive and ongoingly up-to-date resource available on the subject. It is just there in case you need it, and all the heaviest, techiest, nerdiest information has been compartmentalised in boxes, charts, captions and, of course, the Micropedia.
Colour or B&W Edition?
So many of the illustrations are optimised for colour that the finish of the two formats (Full Colour Softback and B&W Softback) looks like two entirely different qualities. The Full Colour Softback has vastly superior appearance, but it is relatively expensive (£25.99/USD35.99/ €29.99), which is why we offer a B&W edition, even though the monochrome reproduction tends to lack definition. It is, however, a more affordable option (£9.99/USD12.99/€10.99) for those who find the Full Colour price too much and who are willing or need to settle for less crisp reproduction.
