Wine Aficionado: An Insider's Guide to Taste and Enjoyment

This is a great book for learning some of the "basics" about wine. It's a small book, very easy to read, and full of a wide variety of information about wine. I especially liked the sections explaining the different types of wine (including how to pronounce the names of the wines), what to look for when tasting a wine, how to serve a wine, the different types of wine glasses to use, and the vocabulary associated with wine. It's titled "Wine aficionado," but I really think it is just a great book for someone who wants to learn some basics about wine.
