Books about Serbian wines in the English language are quite rare, search engines provide only one. Unfortunately, the status of the books in the Serbian language is not much better. Only in the last few years there are a couple of good issues, we hope to soon will be better. And unfortunately again, all editions except one are in Serbian language.
So, let’s see what we have:

Publisher:: Admiral books, Beograd, 2015 Format: paper, 110 x 175mm, 48 pages

In addition to maps, are presented and GPS coordinates of the main 77 wineries in Serbia, their brief description, as well as a reasonable description of their best wines. Rumors say the new issues will have data on about 150 Serbian winery.. Brochure that every fan of Serbian wine needs to have in his (or her 🙂 ) pocket.
