Chicago, IL -- (SBWire) -- 01/22/2014 --Millennials, also known as ‘Generation Y’, all have one thing in common.

They buy a lot of wine.

“They’re the largest wine buying consumer group in history,” says Jess Altieri, author of new book, ‘Kiss My Glass: Jess Altieri's "NO-BS" Wine Buying Guide’. “The industry really has never seen anything like it.”

While Millennials will hand over cash for a good bottle of red, if you asked them the difference between varietals or what to pair with a juicy steak – the answer might escape them. Buying wine, after all, can be a little intimidating, and no person on earth wants to admit that they’re not sure what they’re doing.

Enter Jess Altieri, Certified Sommelier and founder of Wine Channel TV, the world’s fastest growing digital wine lifestyle network. With ‘Kiss My Glass: Jess Altieri’s “NO-BS” Wine Buying Guide’, nervous buyers can finally carry Altieri’s advice in their pockets and start to choose wine like a pro.
