Book Review: Jokes, Japes, and general Jollifiation in the New Cartoon
Summary: 5 Stars

When is someone a real wine lover? It's a question that's been the bane of philosophers and their science since Plato. Descartes said, "I drink therefore I am," but his inquiry stopped there. To this day the philosophic community had concluded bleakly that it is a subject of such metaphysical complexity that the search will remain forever endless ... that is until now. Bert Witte, the author and illustrator of the new book of cartoons, You're a Real Wine Lover When... puts the issue to bed without its supper with Witte's astounding collection of aphorisms visa vi: "you're a real wine lover when.....you even store your automobile in French Oak"..

Award winning Dutch cartoonist, Bert Witte, brings together his scathing wit, his brilliantly ridiculous caricatures and a deep love of wine in his newest collections of cartoons, perfectly timed to cure your holiday blues. And admit it, you got `em bad. Be warned: Mr. Witte has permanently offended even the most smugly confident wine snobs. Be sure to check out the anatomically anomalous "Mr. Corkscrew" on page 16.

Bert Witte tackles the tough subjects in wine (and gives them a snuggy); the glass, the bottle and the label, sampling and tasting wine, wine production, how to handle wine before, during and after dinner and common and unusual wine situations for the accident prone wine lover. Each area is given its proper drubbing. This new collection is wine's "Far Side".

Summary of You're a Real Wine Lover When...

Here is the humorous answer to all of your wine snob's pretensions. This famous European cartoonist pokes fun at every side of wine and those who consider themselves experts. Even the simple wine lover is not spared some ridicule in these most delightful cartoons. His drawings go from the elegant to the grotesque, distorting the human anatomy if necessary to get a laugh and make a point.
