Now that we’ve published two beautiful and fact-filled reference books on cocktails and Skotch whisky, it is time to pay attention to the rich and exciting world of wine. Collins Wine, the latest Collins GEM book app for iPhone and iPod Touch by Melon Mobile, is a guide of a new sort.

As the author Julie Arkell states herself: “This book unashamedly flies in the face of tradition. Instead of classifying wines by country and region of origin, it turns everything upside down by looking at wines in terms of their styles and flavors and how best to appreciate them to the full. … Once you have decided on the style and flavor you want to drink, all you need to do is open these pages to discover a wealth of tasty recommendations.”

Collins Wine is the friend you need who can recommend a delicious new wine to complement tonight’s dinner or to add extra zing to a lovely summer evening. The book will present you with a comprehensive list of the many ways you can enjoy wine, complete with notes on popular wine-producing regions, labels known for their quality and mouth-watering descriptions of the tastes you can expect for each type of wine: red, white, rosé, sweet or sparkling.

Not only will this book always know what wine to recommend for your current mood, it will help you learn more about wine as a whole with its sections on wine-making, reading wine labels, wine terminology, developing your wine-tasting skills and more.

We hope you are already convinced: Collins Wine is a must-have for everyone who has ever enjoyed a glass of wine.
