Description

"The Professions of Wine (French Edition)" by Pierre Citerne, published by Loubatières editions, is a true ode to the wine world. This book does not claim to be a neutral scientific treatise but rather offers a sensitive and subjective perspective on the people, professions, and traditions that have shaped the history of wine.

The author adopts a human and warm approach, bringing to life before our eyes generations of passionate winemakers, their meticulous tasks, their challenges, and their relentless pursuit of a vinous ideal. Through elegant writing, Pierre Citerne weaves connections between eras, highlighting anecdotes, major events, and humble everyday gestures that have marked the history of wine.

For millennia, wine has held a central place in our society. No other food has been so much deified, mythologized, and personified. The vocabulary of tasting perfectly illustrates this: a wine can be aristocratic, sprightly, senile, or amorous. Each sip tells a story, each bottle is a living testimony to the world's wine culture and heritage.

The author reminds us that behind every glass of wine lies a millennial heritage, a know-how passed down from generation to generation. This book thus celebrates not only wine as a product but also the wine artisans, the men and women who dedicate their lives to this noble task.

Richly illustrated and documented, "The Professions of Wine" is a reference work for wine lovers, historians, and heritage enthusiasts. It invites a deep reflection on the place of wine in our society, on its social, economic, and cultural role.

This book is also a tribute to the diversity of wine professions, from winemakers to sommeliers, including wine merchants and traders. Each actor plays an essential role in the production and distribution chain, contributing to making wine a universal symbol of sharing and conviviality.

Throughout its 192 pages, this work combines history, anecdotes, portraits, and analyses to offer the reader a comprehensive and fascinating vision of the world of wine. With impeccable publishing quality and careful iconography, it makes a beautiful object to give or to own.

In conclusion, "The Professions of Wine" is much more than just a book: it's an authentic and fascinating dive into a world rich in history and humanity. A must-read for anyone wishing to better understand the inseparable link between humans and wine.
