Another Story of Wine (French Edition) by Sophie Brissaud, Pierre Guigui

Another story of wine is a fascinating essay, the result of a dialogue between Pierre Guigui, wine specialist, and Sophie Brissaud, a recognized food journalist and author. Together, they trace back through time to offer us a transversal, original, and profoundly human approach to the place of Wine in history.

Since its Caucasian and Middle Eastern origins, wine has continuously played a role both sacred and profane in human societies. While its colors, tastes, and manufacturing methods have evolved, the fundamental criteria wine has remained surprisingly constant over the centuries.

Through a reading Mythological, , archaeological and social, the authors outline the major typologies of wine:

• the popular wines, rudimentary, intended for the most modest classes,

• the elite wines, true symbols of prestige and power,

• the intermediate wines, today embodied by the natural wines, , bio, and originating from small producers.

The book highlights the influence of the winemaking techniques, of the tools, and of the containers on the perception of wine. These elements, often overlooked, have nonetheless shaped the tastes, the social practices and the democratization of this ancient beverage.

Implicitly, Another story of wine invites us to reconsider our relationship with modern wine in light of its millennia-old past. An essential read for anyone interested in the wine culture, its contemporary challenges, and its role as a social glue between generations, cultures, and classes.
