Trente nuances de gros rouge (french edition) by Philippe Quesnot

Trente nuances de gros rouge is a unique gem in wine literature. Written by Philippe Quesnot, a bon vivant and gifted storyteller, this book is a vibrant collection of 30 anecdotes—each linked to a favorite bottle, often in magnum format, to underscore the joy of sharing wine, food, and laughter.

A colorful narrator, a delightful tone
Quesnot doesn’t claim to be a winemaker or wine expert. Instead, he’s a man who knows how to enjoy life, with a keen sense for good company, fine meals, and great bottles. Through his vivid storytelling, he brings us into moments of human connection, often absurd, always heartwarming.

Wine as the thread through life
Each chapter revolves around a wine—be it legendary, quirky, or simply beloved. These bottles aren’t just beverages; they’re vessels of memory, keys to friendship, and symbols of joy. The wine in this book isn’t to be analyzed but experienced and shared.

An ode to friendship and simple pleasures
Far from being technical, this book is a celebration of living well, where meals turn into memories and friends become family. With every story, Quesnot invites readers to gather, pour, laugh, and savor the moment. It's not about understanding wine; it's about feeling alive with a glass in hand.

A compact format with generous flavor
Published by Éditions de l’Épure, this 155-page paperback fits easily into a pocket or travel bag. Light to carry but rich in content, it’s perfect for dipping into on a train ride, at the bar, or before bed. Like a good bottle, it’s best enjoyed in company—but satisfying even alone.
