Microsoft Wine Guide enriches your enjoyment of wine with descriptive tasting notes from Oz Clarke and a team of experts on more than 6,000 individual wines - from high-priced clasics to many exceptional finds from around the world that fit your budget easily. You'll also find detailed entries on the world's wine regions and producers. It's your key to improving the quality of the wine you drink, and enjoying and collecting the wines that suit you best. Find the wine you want. Use the Wine Selector to set your own criteria for choosing a wine. For example, to match your meal with an ideal wine, whether you're serving filet mignon or a plate of pasta, just a few clicks of the mouse will tell you the suggested wine style and recommend specific wines with their star rating, grape variety, producer, appellation, region, and the best vintage years.
Visit the wine country! Nearly 60 interactive, scrolling maps in the Atlas take you to the world's great wine producing regions - then let you jump directly to information about each region's geography, climate, characteristic wines, and major producers. It's a perfect way to plan a tour of vineyards or wineries. Oz Clarke's Tasting Tour is a deliciously informative series of 18 videos, filled with Oz's personal tips to help you discover nuances in tasting and evaluating wines. You'll learn what to look for in particular styles - for example, how a California Cabernet may differ from a red Bordeaux.
It all begins with the grapes. In All About Wine, follow your favorite wine from the grapevine to the glass. You'll get an in-depth introduction to the principal grape varieties and production methods. In Wine Tasting with Oz, you'll find a detailed discussion of the proper glass for each wine, decanting methods, and much more. Wine Guide is hosted by Oz Clarke. Oz is internationally renowned for his formidable palate, and is a winner of the prestigious James Beard award.

Microsoft Home is a defunct line of software applications and personal hardware products published by Microsoft. Microsoft Home software titles first appeared in the middle of 1993. These applications were designed to bring multimedia to Microsoft Windows and Macintosh personal computers. With more than 60 products available under the Microsoft Home brand by 1994, the company's push into the consumer market took off. Microsoft also announced at that time Microsoft Plus!, an add-on enhancement package for Windows, which was continued until the Windows XP era. The range of home software catered for many different consumer interests from gaming with Microsoft Arcade and Entertainment Packs to reference titles such as Microsoft Encarta, Bookshelf and Cinemania. Shortly after the release of Microsoft Windows 95, the company began to reduce the price of Microsoft Home products and by the rise of the World Wide Web by 1998, Microsoft began to phase out the line of software.
