    Literally, the funniest thing I have ever read. I wasn't sure what to expect with this book , especially on Kindle, but I was pleasently surprised. This is legit the only way to explore wines. I don't know about you but I hate the books that over complicate learning and understanding about wine! There's no need for it! This book is darn right hilarious! Also, the illustrations - I have NEVER had an experience with a kindle as joyful as this one, the illustrations and color make it so much fun to keep reading - or is it that I'm reading it with wine... it's one or the other, i'll let you experience that for yourself :) You definitely need to have a good sense of humor to read this book, as it is exactly as it reads, it's a children's book parody for.... wine... Never have I ever thought that I would read in a sentence about a mouse's Pinot Grigio, alas, I have. I also learned that it's sweet or dry but more acidic then other wines.... hmm... that explains a few things for me ;) Who knew? Probably someone who listens at tastings but again, never me... Great book! highly recommend it .

    For adults who have read the classic “Are You My Mother” to children, they will appreciate and “get the parody” for “Are You My Wine.” Even for people who have not read the children’s classic, this is a wonderful way to explore wine. I am typical of most people, in thinking that I don’t know enough about wine, I will mispronounce the names of different wines, and there are unique ways to describe wine. Because “Are You My Wine,” is written like a children’s book with talking animal characters, it dispels all those ideas, while providing factual information about wine in a fun, easy manner.

    With a funny commentary, “Are You My Wine” takes us through the most popular wines, noting what to eat with them from Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Riesling, Pinot Noir, Merlot, among others. There is no wine lover who won’t learn something from this joyful book, and someone new to wine will learn a lot! Highly recommend it!

    Saddle up with a glass of wine and enjoy the wine parody that is “Are You My Wine?” If you want the perfect gifty book for the wine lover in your life than this book is the bees knees. I love all the animal illustrations, detailing how to pair your wine with different foods. I know I’ve experienced a bit of a learning curve with wine pairings in the past, but this book really does break down it all down into simple and fun, to-dos. As a strictly Cabarnet Sauvignon drinker (mostly for dinner), I feel much more confident in broadening my scope to brunch and lunch (did you know you can have Rose for brunch? I didn’t). “Are You My Wine?” is a cute, easy read with fun facts about the good ‘ol vino. It’s definitely something I share with friends as a lightweight reference guide through the variety of wines that are out there and what to do with them.

    This is the perfect introductory book for people who want to know a little bit more about wine but are intimidated by the tomes out there. Even shorter books that promise to just cover the basics so you can ”get started” can’t seem to help themselves, running away with every type of grape in every type of location that makes wine and the time of year that is best to pick the grapes, etc. UGH. Every region, ok, yes, it does make a difference. But it can be overwhelming if all you really want to know is, which wine will I generally like and should I eat it with this kind of food? This book is EXACTLY that. It glosses over each wine in broad strokes, but is detailed enough that you wouldn’t buy a Sauvignon Blanc when what your taste buds really wanted was Chardonnay.

    This book is so cute! I love the super-fun illustrations and the way the story guides you through Penguin's experience with all the different wines. As a non-wine drinker, it was a great primer in wine. Just enough information to get a sense of each type of wine but not so much as to overwhelm. The book teaches you about Champagne, Pinot Grigio, Sauvingon Blanc, Chardonnay, Riesling, Rose, Pinot Noir, Merlot, Zinfandel, Cabarnet Sauvingon, Malbec, Syrah and Port. It's also hilarious to see all the different animals drinking wine. I'm planning to use this book with some bottles of wine to make a cute Christmas gift.

    “Are You My Wine?” takes classic childhood story tropes and talking animals and turns them on their heads. This parody chronicles a night out of drinking in pursuit of the penguin’s favorite wine, complete with animal characters and beautiful illustrations. While humorous (and relatable…), this book is surprisingly educational. Weaved throughout the story are helpful explanations and facts about a wide variety of wines. Ranging from how different wines get their color, to which wines pair well with certain foods, to the range of characteristics of several different wines, this book is not only charming, but educational. As a person with literally zero knowledge of wine, I genuinely think I may use this book on future wine shopping excursions (as ridiculous as it may sound!).

    My adult daughters got a great kick out reading the details on each wine, even though they didn't exactly agree with some of the flavor analysis.

    This was part of a concoction of a gift set I put together for my boss for Christmas (team contributed $). She absolutely loved her gifts including this book! It was wonderful to see her and everyone else smiling and laughing. It's a really cute book! Best part was my boss made a recording of her 6yr old daughter reading the book to her! It was HYSTERICAL! That child will be a wine connoisseur before she's even old enough to drink! I definitely recommend getting this for your wine loving peeps! Well worth it!
