Burp: The Other Wine Book by Bas Korpel & Jur Baart (English edition)

Burp: The Other Wine Book (English Edition) is an exceptional work by Bas Korpel and Jur Baart, published by Bis Publishers. This unique book explores the fascinating stories behind each bottle of wine, highlighting the importance of wine labels and their crucial role in the marketing and consumer perception of wine.

The book features 40 wines, each with a distinctive label and an associated story. Unlike other works that focus on winemaking techniques, Burp emphasizes the visual aspect of the labels. This innovative approach reveals how winegrowers can make a statement through their labels, reflecting the soul and history of their enterprise.

What's remarkable is the exceptionally high proportion of natural wines among the selection. These wines, often produced by winemakers new to the trade, show particular attention to the presentation of their products. Additionally, the book includes timeless classics essential for any good wine cellar.

Burp is not just a book about wine, but also a collection of captivating anecdotes. Like folk tales, the stories behind these wines are often passed down and embellished over time, offering new anecdotes to share during your next tastings.

Among the renowned producers featured in the book are Château Mouton Rothschild, Pol Roger, and Marqués de Riscal. Famous winegrowers such as Angelo Gaja, Telmo Rodriguez, and Francis Ford Coppola also contribute, adding invaluable worth to this collection.

Bas Korpel, a storyteller, vinologist, and copywriter, has dedicated his career to the world of wine since 2011. He works as a commercial writer, wine critic, and columnist, with extensive experience in Amsterdam advertising agencies.

Jur Baart, on the other hand, always knew he wanted to be in the creative field. Today, he is the owner of the award-winning agency Fitzroy, co-founder of Brave The Sea, and Business Angel for several startups. He developed the concept of Burp and illustrated the book.

The photographs in the book are the work of Danny Griffioen, an Amsterdam-based photographer known for his striking portraits and his work as a film director since 2018.
