Description
Flawless: Understanding Faults in Wine by Jamie Goode is a unique work that closely examines faults in wine. While many books discuss great wine successes, few delve into what can turn a good wine into a disappointing one. This book focuses on wine faults such as cork taint, volatile acidity, and unpleasant aromas that wine lovers and professionals often encounter. But Jamie Goode goes further by questioning the very notion of a fault: are all faults negative, or could some be desirable in certain circumstances?
Using his scientific expertise, Goode explains the causes of these faults in an accessible and comprehensible manner, inviting a new way of thinking about wines. This book proposes to rethink the beauty in a glass of wine and challenges preconceived ideas about wine quality.
