      Irreverent, informative, and controversial, The Wine Avenger is indispensable guide to wine for beginners and enthusiasts alike. A longtime champion of the victimized wine consumer, Willie Gluckstern debunks the myths and misinformation surrounding the (allegedly) complex subject of wine. His straightforward advice includes: *The wines that go BEST with food-and why. *A cure for label worship: "There are just as many lousy $60 bottles as $3.99 bottles." *How to avoid getting ripped off in stores and restaurants. *How to choose a great wine shop: "Do they know where Italy is?" *Dreary housekeeping tips, such as storage, decanting, saving opened wine, and "that sulfite thing." Plus, the straight poop on oak, "the MSG of wine," a few well-chosen words for greedy restaurants and retailers ("Those bastards!"), and an unprecedented expose of mass-market Champagne, including how to find the good stuff by cracking the secret label code.
