 One of the most intimidating aspects of wine collecting is attending wine auctions (where you can often get better values, just like at antiques auctions). Meltzer demystifies the wine auction process with clear pictures of what goes on (ex: "A Day at the Auction") and gives expert tips gained from years of auction going.

 In addition to giving strategies for auction going, he breaks down the options for storing good wine, from buying a modest wine unit that fits in your kitchen to creating a complete wine cellar. Additional sections cover the history of wine collecting, profiles of different wine collectors, and choosing the best accessories, from corkscrews to wine glasses.

 As an added value, an extensive price chart from the Wine Spectator Auction Index quantifies the performance of hundreds of wines at auction, simplifying the purchasing process and establishing a reliable "going rate" for collectible wine.
