Le monde du vin aujourd'hui (French edition) by Jacky Rigaux | Terre En Vues

The World of Wine Today, written by Jacky Rigaux, is an essential work for anyone interested in the fascinating universe of wine. Rigaux, known for his staunch defense of terroir wines, offers us a deep reflection, both epistemological and aesthetic, on the modern world of wine.

At the beginning of the 2000s, the American magazine BusinessWeek headlined: "The Wine War Rages On!" referring to the fierce competition between American, Australian, and French wines. This book fits into that continuity but with a unique perspective that highlights the importance of preserving and celebrating natural wine.

Jacky Rigaux does not merely defend a partisan approach to wine. On the contrary, he invites us to understand wine not only as a simple drink but also as a sensory and social experience. He reminds us that wine was created for our personal pleasure and to enrich our pleasure of being together.

The author addresses various aspects of the contemporary world of wine, emphasizing the challenges faced by terroir wine producers in the face of standardization and globalization. His advocacy for natural wine resonates even more strongly in a context where consumers are looking to reconnect with authentic products that are environmentally friendly and rich in tradition.

The book is not only a valuable source of information but also an invitation to rediscover wine from a different, deeper, and more engaged perspective. Natural wine enthusiasts as well as industry professionals will find in this book solid arguments to defend their passion.
