Windows On The World Complete Wine Course
by Kevin Zraly

Packed full of useful information in an easy to follow format, great for learning & as an ongoing reference.  If you want to learn about wine and are looking for one book, this is that book.
Introducing Wine
Oz Clarke's Introducing Wine: A Complete Guide For The Modern Wine Drinker
by Oz Clarke

A slim volume that packs a surprising wealth of wine knowledge for its size, this is a great place to start learning about wine without commiting to a textbook-sized book like the one above.  Lots of illustrations & very easy to follow.
The Wine Bible
The Wine Bible
by Karen MacNeil

A massive reference (904 pages) that reads like a book, not a reference.  An amazing value too - $20 new, significantly cheaper used.
Pocket Wine Book
Hugh Johnson's Pocket Wine Book 2007: 31st Edition
by Hugh Johnson

You'll need a rather large pocket for this book, but it does travel well.  A very concise reference for wines of the world, this is a great help when trying to pick out a bottle.  Look for the latest edition as this is constantly being updated.
