I'll be a bit disloyal here. I live in Spain but French wine is much better & I read Hugh Johnson's book as I get through the bottles.

A classic of the wine world. This book is an excellent introduction to wine in general and to the differences between wines from different countries and regions in particular. Lots of reccommendations on wines to try as well. Full of the cutting British humor.
