Each chapter of the Encyclopedia is arranged on a country-bycountry basis, within which each wine region is dealt with; any districts within regions are examined, as are any smaller winemaking areas in each district. Within each chapter, there are two basic types of page: general introductory text and taste guides. Introductory text has three regular features, Label Language, Recent Vintages, and Factors Affecting Taste and Quality, which may be given at either the national or regional level (see below). Taste guides are variously entitled: The Appellations of.; The Wine Styles of.; and The Wine Producers of. Where appropriate—in Bordeaux, for example—a listing of generic appellations provides an overview before the author deals with the more specific appellations. Various levels of information may be included in the Taste Guides, depending on the importance of a wine and/or its producer. Look for red, white, rosé, and sparkling tasting notes, with symbols denoting other information as detailed below right. When consulting the encylopedia for a comment on a particular wine, look up the wine producer in the index. If you find that the producer is not listed, then look up the wine’s appellation or style (by country or region).
