Preface A n important aspect of hospitality education is the study of wine and beverages Beverages have become an important aspect of the industry, not only in the overall dining experience, but also for chefs and restaurateurs who wish to enhance the enjoyment of their food.The recent emphasis on food and wine pairings in print and in menus exemplifies this trend.Two recent trends—emphasizing food, beer and cocktail pairings and the rise of the “bar chef ” using savory ingredients—suggest the trend is expanding beyond wine Learning about wine can be an imposing challenge and has some obstacles to easy learning First, unlike teaching culinary arts, the frame of reference for the student is often limited Students cannot begin their actual wine education until they are twenty-one, yet have eaten all their lives Discussion of cooking technique and flavors has some familiarity, while wine is often a completely unique experience Second, wine education is constantly changing Every year, when a new vintage is released, new wines need to be learned Considering there are thousands of wineries, each producing multiple types of wine, the task can be overwhelming It’s akin to standing on the 50-yard line at a professional football game and expecting to learn something about every person in the stands Finally, the instructional organization brings its own challenges Much of learning about wine begins in France, after whose traditions most wines are produced However, studying French wine is simply condensing the wine world into a smaller portion It is still chock full of grapes, styles, techniques, and so on More advanced classes just delve deeper into the same material That makes the initial learning curve steep and subsequent learning repetitious Audience The need for a new, comprehensive approach is the motivation behind The Wine, Beer, and Spirits Handbook Most of the wine texts not address the integration of wine into the hospitality experience.Wine is treated as an isolated subject, occasionally vii fpref.indd vii 3/13/09 12:42:46 PM Free ebooks ==> www.Ebook777.com viii P R E FA C E with a reference to basic food and wine pairing Culinary and hospitality students and professionals will find this book useful for the emphasis on food and wine pairing as a stand-alone topic as well as comments on how grape varietals and wine styles interact with food For a hospitality student or wine professional, the book focuses not only on the making and flavor profiles of wine, beer, and spirits, but also on the business of wine service Basic service needs are discussed, as well as management tasks such as inventory control, pricing, menu matching, and storage Functional skills such as determination of wine faults and understanding the health and legal implications of wine consumption are also addressed The Wine, Beer, and Spirits Handbook is perfect for classes in food and beverage management, wine appreciation, spirits, or advanced restaurant and culinary classes utilizing food and wine pairing Organization of the Text The Wine, Beer, and Spirits Handbook approaches the subject from the modern view of varietal labeling and stylistic similarities Each part can be used as a stand-alone section to be explored deeply, or the book can be used as a whole to give an overview of the subject and kept as a reference The material covers both a breadth of topics as well as a depth not found in any other single text Unique to the text is the inclusion of a large section on food and wine pairing, as well as food and beverage interactions in each part The Wine, Beer, and Spirits Handbook is also not restricted just to wine, but also includes beer and spirits and their interactions with food The first part covers the general topic of wine: what makes wines taste different, how they are made, how to taste them, how to store and serve them, how they interact with food, and their implication on health The second part focuses on the important grapes in the market today These are discussed regarding the special circumstances of their growth, wine making, and food interaction Also discussed are the locations of the best examples of wine from these grapes Parts three and four look at secondary or up-and-coming grapes (white grapes in part three and red grapes in part four) These are often singleregion wines, but they are grouped by style similarities After the discussion on table wines, part five is dedicated to specialty wines, namely sparkling wines and fortified wines In these sections, production is discussed as well as styles and food interactions Part six focuses on other alcoholic beverages, namely beer and spirits The spirits are divided into fruit-, grain-, and vegetable-based spirits.The modern beverage program is not focused on just wines or just spirits, but encompasses both in a unified offering The chef or sommelier must be equally as conscious of beer and spirit choices as they are of wine www.Ebook777.com fpref.indd viii 3/13/09 12:42:47 PM Bibliography Baldy, Marion W., PhD The University Wine Course San Francisco: Wine Appreciation Guild, 2005 Bastianich, Joseph, and
