I have about 25 wine-related books, some of which are old and outdated but beautifully written and of high quality. The first edition of MacNeil's "Wine Bible" was one of my go-to books for basic wine information. I am a fan of Southern Rhone and Languedoc red varietals and recently purchased a bottle a red Roussillon from Maury Sec. Not knowing much about the new appelation, I grabbed Karen's book and noted that there was no mention of the Maury appelation. That was to be expected since it is a new, small appelation. Nonetheless, it reminded me that the first edition of "The Wine Bible" has a copyright date of 2001, and much has changed in the Languedoc-Rousillon region. So, I looked to see if, perhaps, there was a new edition of the book, and sure enough I discovered the 2nd Edition which is described as "completely revised and updated," with a copyright date of 2015. So, I went ahead and ordered the book even though it is now 2020 -- 5 years after the 2015 copyright date.My first impression upon receipt is that the quality of this book is nowhere as good as the quality of the 1st edition. In addition, the paperback was not well protected in the delivery envelope, resulting in a bent cover and about 400 pages. (This may be remedied somewhat by putting the weighting down the book for awhile.) But the cover material and page quality are not as good as the first edition. This can be seen by simply comparing the thickness of the two books. The first edition is 910 pages (not including the cover), while the second edition is 996 pages. And yet, the 2nd edition is approximately 0.5 inches THINNER than the 1st edition, reflecting the poorer quality of the cover and paper.Another quality issue is the font. The 1st edition has a darker and easier to read font. In addition, photos, labels, and other graphics are needlessly larger than in the 1st edition, thus appearing to create greater content, when, in fact, all they do is take up added space. A good example are label reproductions which are large as compared to their counterparts in the 1st edition -- only two to a page, whereas there are four to a page in the 1st edition. And, as I said, this needless, because there is no difficulty in reading the labels in the 1st edition.Comparing the section on Languedoc-Rousillon (both of which coincidentally begin on page 293), the 1st edition extends to page 305, whereas the "new 2nd edition" is one page shorter (304). And yet, the graphics are much larger in the 2nd edition with little or no new content. The "Quick Sip" in the 1st edition is 3 inches long, whereas it is 3.5 inches in the 2nd edition. The 1st edition shows 10 labels with descriptions (5 to a page), whereas the 2nd edition has 7 much larger labels, 2 to a page, plus one page with 3 labels.There are many more examples where it appears there is has been a blatant attempt to give the impression of greater content and quality, but which is sorely lacking in those regards. Just pick up and compare the two editions and it is readily apparent.Having just received the 2nd edition, I have not, of course, had the opportunity to read it from cover to cover. I did read the entire section on Languedoc-Rousillon and compared it to the 1st edition. Although there is new information on the region (which is fast growing in interest from a quality and value wine standpoint -- still no mention of Maury Sec), but smaller in size because of larger, space-consuming graphics, despite the fact that a great deal more could have been written about this region.BOTTOM LINE : Karen, I have recommended your original edition to many folks who have asked me for my recommendations on a basic text for wine education. But I am so disappointed in the poor quality and reduced content in the new edition that I can no longer recommend your book. Shame!!! great reference, but very biased selection of winemakers and wineries, no rhyme or reason why some names are listed and other high quality producers were omitted. The author should stick to factual style of writing instead of dramatizing certain issues. It is also quite bizarre that Turkey is not included even though the country is #5 in the world in terms of vineyards ( after Spain, China, France, and Italy and BEFORE USA) and it has numerous indigenious grapes and a booming wine industry. This is on top of the fact that vitis vinifera may have actually originated along the fertile lands around the Black Sea almost 8000 years ago. The lists at the end are also a little sloppy, the DOC and DOCG regions of Italy mixed together. A list of important grapes from each country would have been useful as well. Tons of helpful information, so an OK book to study for "the test" Read Online The Wine Bible Download The Wine Bible The Wine Bible PDF The Wine Bible Mobi Free Reading The Wine Bible Download Free Pdf The Wine Bible PDF Online The Wine Bible Mobi Online The Wine Bible Reading Online The Wine Bible Read Online Karen MacNeil Download Karen MacNeil Karen MacNeil PDF Karen MacNeil Mobi Free Reading Karen MacNeil Download Free Pdf Karen MacNeil PDF Online Karen MacNeil Mobi Online Karen MacNeil Reading Online Karen MacNeilRead Online The Compleat Guide to Day Trading Stocks (Compleat Day Trader) By Jake Bernstein
