Book excerpt: On its first publication in 1983 this hilarious send-up of winetaster's jargon was hailed by 'The Financial Times' as "one of this year's bubbling successes". It has since been con-stantly reprinted to meet demand and has become a classic of its kind. For all those mysti-fied by the strange pontifications of wine-buffs, this is the perfect guide to the meaning behind "distinctive nose", "full bodied" and "elegant but lacks backbone".
