"They're big, they're out there, but they're not all the same.

This book cuts a sure course through the ocean of popular wines.

Carolyn's enthusiasm and stylistic panache tells you what you need to know -- and fast.

" --Andrew Jefford, columnist for Decanter and The World of Fine Wine magazine ".

most wine reviewsare aimed at higher-priced, small-production wines that often can't be found.

Her book rectifies that by comparing big brands by price (up to $15) and grape variety.

" --LA Times, Chicago Tribune, Sacramento Bee "This book is a fabulous resource.

It really filled a niche that needed to be addressed.

" --Lynne Webb, publisher, mygourmetconnection.

com "It's about time someone of Carolyn's' caliber stepped forward to champion these humble yet satisfying wines.

The first paragraph alone is worth the price of admission.

" --Richard Best, The Frugal Oenophile"Arriving at a time when consumers are looking for reliable quality wines at economy prices, this book is a timely and unique guide, and is the first ever to rank popular big-brand wines.

"--Sheila Swerling-Puritt at TonyAspler.

comWhile wine snobs are swirling and sniffing expensive wines that are tediously hard to find, the rest of us are just drinking wine.

Popular wine.

Big brand wine.

Big brands can spell terrific value but you need to know which bottles to buy.

That's where Good Better Best Wines comes in.

It's small enough to pop in your pocket and take with you to the shop.

And it's user-friendly enough to flip through on the fly.

Big brands use economies of scale to produce good value wines with easy-to-understand labels, limited vintage variation and broad distribution.

These advantages are a winning combination with today's time-pressed wine consumers faced with tens of thousands of wine choices, who are more conscious than ever of their wine budgets in today's economy.

For these reasons, big brands have become the wines North Americans turn to most of the time.

Good Better Best Wines is the first book ever to rank best-selling wines.

I hope you find it useful.
