Description

The Desire for Wine: Conquering the World by Jean-Robert Pitte is a reference work that delves deeply into the history and expansion of viticulture around the world. Although France faces some challenges in this sector, other regions of the globe, such as North and South America, Southern Africa, and Australia, are experiencing a true explosion in wine production.

These new wine regions, despite having different soils and often distinct grape varieties, have learned from Europe the delicate art of vine cultivation, winemaking, and vineyard maintenance. In the era of globalization, Jean-Robert Pitte presents a fascinating and updated overview of vines and wine on a global scale.

The book rigorously and passionately explores the different stages of wine production, from bottling to storage, including transport and trading. Through his precision and expertise, the author offers an exhaustive encyclopedia that stands as an essential reference for wine enthusiasts.

This work is a journey through the terroirs of the world, recounting how countries once minimally involved in wine production have adopted and adapted European techniques to create exceptional wines. It also highlights the importance of trade and wine culture in the context of globalization.

Jean-Robert Pitte, recognized as one of the foremost French specialists in cultural geography, offers a valuable analysis of the history of global viticulture, shedding light on the various wine traditions and their evolution across all latitudes.
