An Introduction to the Wines, Beers, and Spirits of the World

While the subject of wine, beer, and spirits continues to grow in
popularity, there are very few books that approach the subject in
an accessible manner and that also contain the pedagogical features
needed by instructors. In addition, most books cover the subject of
wine only, while hospitality students need a broader base on
knowledge that also includes beer and spirits. After finishing the
book, readers will be prepared to take the introductory
certification exams of the Court of Master Sommeliers,
International Sommelier Guild, and Society of Wine Educators and
receive a first-level certification.

Divided into five parts, Gibson covers wine, beer, and spirits.
Along with a history of each type of beverage, he also covers how
these beverages are produced and manufactured, varieties and styles
of these beverages, and food pairings. Most importantly, Gibson
covers costing, pricing, merchandising, marketing, and storing
wine, along with creating a balanced wine list and table
service.
