Description
"Wine fraud rarely makes the headlines. When it does, the wine world shouts that "something must be done!" and then immediately drops its guard. Rebecca Gibb's lively, engaging book is a good reminder that wine fraud is as old as wine itself, and perhaps less escapable than most of us would care to admit. Gibb expertly examines the evolution of wine regulations and tackles the philosophical interdependence between the authentic and the fake, all while invoking Richard Nixon and The Simpsons. The result is a witty, smart, and enjoyable romp through a subject all of us should be taking more seriously."--Kelli Audrey White, author of Napa Valley, Then and Now, and Director of Education for the Wine Center at Meadowood

"Rebecca Gibb's rollicking prose delves into devious practices stretching back to Roman times and the rogue gallery of fraudsters whose stories belong as much in a detective novel as in an absorbing wine book."--Neal Martin, award-winning author of Pomerol
