Wine-loving travellers will savour this introduction to Spain's important wine regions, providing a background to leading bodegas and wineries you will find there. Spain has more land under vine than any other country in Europe, and over the past thirty years has transformed its wine industry into one of the greatest in the world. Using a unique combination of native and imported grape varieties, Spain now produces a wide range of quality wines. Yet its wine regions and villages, many of which are located in unspoiled and remote areas, remain relatively unknown. The authors introduce the wine-loving traveller to these regions providing a background to their wines and leading bodegas, or wineries. This book 'might have been titled 'A Wine Lover's Travel Guide to Spain.' It contains interesting background material on all of Spain's significant wine-producing regions, as well as practical advice on traveling, lodging, dining, and sightseeing.' - Harvey Finkel
