Description
Written with the thread of memory, this "Dictionnaire amoureux du vin" is, in fact, a very personal book, filled with amusing stories and tasty anecdotes, as well as culture, of course! In the Pivot family, the artist is the brother Jean-Charles, the winemaker. Bernard, on the other hand, is content with the intoxication of words. "In this 'Dictionnaire amoureux du vin', I only discuss what I know, love, and am passionate about. There is autobiography, readings, memories of wine cellars, wine cellars, dining tables... Yet, here is the essential: wine is culture. The culture of the vine, but also culture for the mind. It is this cultural dimension of a universal consumer product that this book aspires to remind us of, in a time when wine is not well regarded. One might be surprised that I often speak lightly and amusingly about a subject that moistens our mouth and soul. This is my way of taking it seriously. I have a cheerful wine. Why should my ink be acidic, sour, or thick? There is an expression that captures well the social role of wine in our country: "vin d'honneur" (wine of honor). This 'Dictionnaire amoureux' would like to be a joyful 'vin d'honneur'. " B.P.
