Black, white, rye, maroon and even siree. Quiet, crisp or sparkling. Mild or dry. Old World or New World? And this is by no means a full range of options to consider when choosing a bottle of wine for the evening. Complicated? Not really. Anna Evgeniya Yanchenko, sommelier and author of the book “Wine without rules. How to drink cool wine and not to be influenced by the thoughts of wine snobs”. The person who will find you an unbelievable wine for 1000 hryvnias and a very good one for 150 UAH, the sommelier who is convinced that tasting and distinguishing aromas and flavours of wine can be taught to everyone.

In her book Anna Evgeniya explains how to read the label and choose kelihi, what is a decanter and where did the tannins come from, dispels myths about powdered wines, explains how Champagne differs from Prosecco, what is Petnat and who created the image of Lambrusco. She describes the most prominent wine regions of the world and explains how winemakers make wine and why to vitrify wine in oak barrels. Bonus from the author: a year-long quest with wine varieties of the world — from the most famous Merlot and Pinot Noir to the mysterious Maravi and Nerello Mascalese.
