The Wine Throughout the Seasons | Jean-Michel Monnier, Sebastien Aubinaud

Upon reading this book, the world of wine is completely explained and demystified to you. Month after month, it covers the major themes of vine cultivation, the main grape varieties from around the world, winemaking processes, wine trade, the development of wine tourism, viticulture models and the resulting wines, wine tasting of healthy wines as well as identifying diseases and organoleptic defects, and concludes with wine and food pairings. Very lively and wonderfully illustrated by Sébastien Aubinaud's photographs, this book is also filled with anecdotes and testimonies from wine industry professionals, offering an educational and gourmet reading experience! A hands-on oenologist for over 30 years in the Loire Valley, working closely with winemakers, and also a lecturer at the University of Angers, Jean-Michel Monnier narrates the world of wine at the pace of the seasons.
