"You must be completely enamored with wine to enjoy the writing of Mr. Taber and his journey with the glass of wine and all the complexities that went into it and making it to your lips. It took me a long time to finish this book and although at times it bordered on "encyclopedic," I thoroughly enjoyed and found myself totally fascinated by the history and science behind a wine bottle, it's closures, and of course, the wine itself."
"Finally finished this discussion of different wine bottle closures (screwcap, glass stopper, cork, etc.) after picking it up and putting it down several times. Lots of interesting trivia, but it's kind of all over the place and sometimes not very coherent."
"Enjoyed this even more than his Judgment of Paris. In Judgment, one learns about the characters that made the wine industry in California. In Cork, one learns apsects about what gives a wine its characters. More interested in the people in the wine business? Read Judgment of Paris. More interested in the wine itself and issues that affect it? Read To Cork or Not to Cork."
