Beyond Flavour: Wine Tasting by Structure (2nd edition in English) by Jackson Nick MW

Beyond Flavour: Wine Tasting by Structure by Jackson Nick MW is an essential book for anyone wishing to deepen their understanding of wine tasting. Unlike traditional methods that focus on aromas, this book emphasizes the analysis of the acid structure of white wines and the tannic structure of red wines as more reliable indicators of a wine's identity.

This 2nd edition in English, now available in paperback format, brings many new features compared to the first edition:

• Recommendations of producers for each variety and main region.
• “Confusions” sections to distinguish varieties with similar tastes.
• Reorganization of entries to start with a clear statement of the varietal structure.
• Discussions on regional styles that directly follow each variety, making reading easier.
• Introduction of three new varieties: Verdejo, Tannat, Saperavi.
• Illustrations for each variety.
• A summary structure table for each variety.
• A table of indicative analytical values (alcohol, sugar) for sparkling, sweet, and fortified wines.
• Rewriting of much content with modern insights, particularly on the concept of “construction.”
• A glossary of oenological terms used in the book and an index for easy navigation.

This book also offers an in-depth analysis of wine styles by country and region, tips for evaluating the quality of a wine, and techniques for blind tasting exams. Beyond Flavour is an indispensable tool for any serious wine enthusiast.

Reviews for the first edition include praise from major media outlets such as Wine Spectator, Wall Street Journal, The Financial Times, and The Economist, which describe the book as “revolutionary” and “visionary.”
