The wine-guide addressed specifically to the new generation of wine buyers and drinkers -- women.

With worldwide consumption of wine soaring, a recent market survey revealed that women are emerging as the most important group of new wine drinkers. Now, for the first time, somebody is taking this section of the wine-market seriously: Wine: A Woman’s Guide reaches out to new, young wine drinkers who are a world away from the traditional, usually male, wine buff. Why is the world of wine a male-dominated minefield? Why are men almost always the ones to be offered the wine list in a restaurant?

Kitty answers these, and many more questions by advising women on wine selection in a way that most women think about the subject: by styles suitable for different occasions, putting wine terminology firmly in its place. “Which wines are good with cheese, or Indian or oriental food?” “Are deposits in the bottom of a bottle safe?” “What’s a good, inexpensive wine to take to a party?” “Does drinking wine make a difference to my weight?” “I’m four months pregnant. Can I have the odd glass of wine?” These are just a handful of the many questions that will be answered in Kitty’s modern, unpretentious yet informative guide aimed at young women everywhere.
