This work takes you on a fascinating journey to the heart of the most spectacular vineyards, where each terroir tells a unique story and where each bottle is a testament to craftsmanship, tradition, and innovation.

Wine, in all its forms, is much more than just a beverage. It is a living heritage, a witness to centuries of expertise and societies in transition. Under the inspired pen of Jérémy Cukierman, one of the few French Masters of Wine and director of the Kedge Wine School, this book passionately recounts the small and large stories of viticulture. Through its pages, discover how conflicts, migrations, and technological evolutions have shaped the wine culture worldwide.

A unique exploration of the world's vineyards

In this book, Cukierman takes you on a discovery of unprecedented and sometimes unusual vineyards. You will explore mountain vineyards, vine-growing oases, and estates located on extreme slopes, where vine cultivation becomes a true act of bravery. You will discover bold wines, produced in extraordinary geographical or climatic conditions, and understand how terroirs influence the magic that emanates from each glass.

Incredible stories and fascinating personalities

The Odyssey of Wine does not just present wines. It also highlights the bold winemakers who, often against the tide, have managed to impose their vision and leave their mark on the history of wine. These inspiring personalities, whether artists or winemakers, make each page of this book a true tribute to the diversity of the wine world.

A rewarded and acclaimed work

The Odyssey of Wine received a special mention at the O.I.V. Awards 2024 in the "Wines and Territories" category. This prestigious distinction testifies to the excellence of this work, which is both informative, accessible, and beautifully illustrated.

"This is a true anthem to the complexity of the world through the prism of wine
that Jérémy offers us in these texts and photographs.
Therefore, it is not a book like any other: it is an essential book that tells us,
like a Homeric myth through all these adventures,
about the "beings-in-the-world" by and for the vine, multiple, invented, and primordial.
