Reddit reviews Great Wine Made Simple: Straight Talk from a Master Sommelier

Drink This - Wine Made Simple - Great book for beginners

The Wine Bible

The Essential Scratch and Sniff Guide to Becoming a Wine Expert - Seems like it's a joke, and it sooort of is, but there's some good information there, and the scratch and sniff thing is actually quite useful.

The World Atlas of Wine - Pretty much the ultimate wine book. If you don't want to spend that much on it, consider buying a used copy of the older edition. You can get it for just a few bucks. Obviously it won't be as up to date, but it's still extremely useful.

Great Wine Made Simple

Up until recently I worked at a book store, these were the books I recommended most frequently to people. If you want ones about specific regions, there are some good ones out there too. These are all more general.

I bought Great Wine Made Simple by Andrea Immer Robinson a few weeks ago. I found it easy to read and understand.

I am now reading Adventures on the Wine Route: A Wine Buyer's Tour of France by Kermit Lynch. It is very interesting.

The problem with listing specific bottles is that the wines with large production and wide distribution are usually some of the worst values and tend to be less interesting wines.

Two books that I've enjoyed:
Great Wine Made Simple

This will really lead you by the hand and suggest specific bottles that you can taste and compare so you can start figuring out wine.

I also like Mark Oldman's book. Not really packed with tons of information, but I think it's worth it just for the lists of alternatives to common wine types.

I really liked Great Wine Made Simple. It gives a crash course in understanding wine and wine terms with tasting assignments so that you can taste a compare to understand the differences. Obviously whether that is helpful depends on why you don't drink, but it's still well written and describes well enough on its own.
