“Battery Information” on page 18.
To install batteries, carefully turn
Wine Master SE over so that the top side is face-down on a soft surface, such as a towel or magazine. You’ll find the battery compartment on the unit’s back.
Using your finger or thumb to push in the locking tab on the compartment lid, lift the lid off.
Install 2 AAA batteries, making sure to match the polarity (+ and -) with the diagram inside the battery compartment. Place the battery compartment lid’s two smaller tabs in their slots and snap the compartment door shut again. If, after you install batteries, the LCD display is blank, press the
RESET button.

WHAT WINE
MASTER CAN DO FOR YOU
—
-
No one will suspect you aren’t a knowledgeable connoisseur of wine as long as you have Wine Master
SE within your reach! This indispensible tool provides you instant access to information on 10,800 rated wines, arranged alphabetically by the wineries that produce the wines. 2,600 wineries (or brands) are included in this listing.
Wine Master SE also lets you save in its memory up to 25 wines of special interest to you for quick reference. WineMaster SE can also help you select the best type of wine to enjoy with the food you’ll have for dinner tonight or that you’ll serve at your next dinner party.
The specialty vocabulary used to describe wine is easily consulted simply by selecting Wine Master
SE’s
WINE TASTING menu, and
Wine Master SE’s
GLOSSARY conveniently defines common wine terms for you. Select
WINE BASICS for information on storing, drinking, serving and researching wine.
Finally, the helpful wine reviews by

Note: If a word or term is longer than 12 characters, such as

A list of 2,600 wineries (brands) will appear alphabetically on your screen. (Wine Master SE provides you with information on 10,800 wines in all…right in your pocket!)
Note the

SELECTING A UNIQUE WINE
—
As you have read above, after you have selected
RATED WINES on the home screen, and
WINERY-
BRAND on the next screen, a list of wineries appears.
Turn the bottle’s neck toward the arrow keys to scroll through the list of wineries.
(See page 11 for information on scrolling a list more quickly by using the
ABC or
3
X buttons.) Stop when the arrow is positioned at the winery
ABBEY ROCK
. In this example, you’ll see the number “
1” at the top of the screen indicating only one wine is in Wine Master SE’s database for this winery.
Next press
ENTER TO select
ABBEY
ROCK. T he following information appears on your screen:
#86 $10 ALL
ABBEY ROCK
2000 BEST BUY
RED
CABERNET-MERLOT
SOUTH EASTERN/
AUSTRALIA, AUSTRALIA
In this example, Wine Master SE shows you Wine Enthusiast
Magazine’s rating for the wine, the selling price, and that it has searched
ALL of its database for this information. It next tells you the vintage and that this wine is considered a value, a
BEST BUY
. (See
Wine Enthusiast Magazine’s Rating
System, page 14 .) The color of the wine and grape varietal is listed next, followed by the wine’s appellation and country of origin.
The Wine Enthusiast Magazine rating is provided for any rated wine you select and appears with a
# sign at the top left of the display. To the right of the rating, Wine Master
SE provides you with the price you can expect to pay per bottle. The type of information that then follows for a wine varies, depending on what information applies to the particular wine. In general your screen allows you to scroll through the following types of information in this order: brand name (winery), special designation, year, distinction, bottle size and alcohol content, review, type, varietal, appellation and country.
In the
ABBEY ROCK example above, only one wine was in Wine
Master SE’s data base for that particular winery. The information for that wine appeared without your needing to make additional choices.
In other cases, there may be information on more than one wine given for a winery. In that case you’ll need to make additional choices. Wine Master SE needs to know four types of information to find a unique wine for you—the brand, varietal, vintage and designation of the wine. The three remaining choices appear on screens only if Wine Master SE has information on more than one varietal, vintage or designation of wine from the brand you have chosen.
(See below for choosing varietals, vintage and designations of wines.)
