Average Rating:
 Rating: - A cut aboveA lovely book covering a specialised area in good detail and at a bargain price. It shares the style and feel of the better travel guides, and gives enough detail for the reader to feel confident in finding most of the places described. It covers a good price range of food and wine. Go quickly, for like all such books, the passing of time will reduce the accuracy. Rating: - brilliantAt last, a guide book to Portugal that really embraces the country from a culinary and cultural point of view so that you get an idea of what makes the Portuguese tick. As the title suggests, the main focus is on wine and it is this integral part of Portuguese life that influences the choices that the authors make as to where and what to eat and drink. It goes into great depth about each region's specialities in food and drink and where you can sample them. Accommodation is often part of a working vineyard and generally chosen for the food and drink as well as the location and is therefore very different to what is usually recommended in other guide books. You might think that it aims at the upper price range only, but it covers everything from B & Bs to grand hotels. There is also a section on local markets, delicatessens and supermarkets for each region as well as interesting places to visit that are not necessarily wine-related plus a language section to help you understand what's on the menu. It does not tell you how to get around by public transport and therefore a car would be essential, but that enables you to see more of the country anyway. All in all, an excellent alternative to what's normally on offer.
