The letter "B" in wine selection

Unwrapping a new book over a glass…
Graham: How do you choose a good wine?
Bruce: Easy. It has to include a letter B.
Graham: A bit limiting?
Bruce: B appears in a lot of wines be they grapes, areas, or brands: Burgundy, Barolo, Bordeaux or Barossa. Even Malbec, allowable even though it's in the middle.
Graham: That's mostly reds.
Bruce: Admitted. But it restricts my intake and makes selecting easier.

This approach to selecting a wine, among many other wine stories, is explored in a book To Wine edited by Graham Bathgate, published December 2020.
