Pourquoi boit-on du vin ? (French edition) an unusual and thrilling investigation by Prof. Fabrizio Bucella | Dunod

In "Why Do We Drink Wine?", Professor Fabrizio Bucella takes us on a fascinating investigation to try to answer a question as simple as it is intriguing: why is the human being attracted to wine? Of course, one might quickly answer: "because it tastes good" or "because it intoxicates", but Professor Bucella goes far beyond these simplistic explanations.

Through this book, he explores deeper and more rational answers that combine both history and science. The reader is invited to follow a meticulous reflection on the origins of this millennial drink and on the cultural and biological reasons that drive people to consume it. Why have some civilizations developed a true passion for wine while others have remained indifferent? How did humans come to transform grapes into this intoxicating nectar that is still venerated today?

Fabrizio Bucella, a sommelier and scientist, is a recognized expert in the field of wine. Thanks to his in-depth knowledge and pedagogical approach, he manages to make accessible a subject that might seem complex. His book is written to be as enjoyable as it is informative, and it reads with a fluidity that makes it suitable for all audiences, whether they are wine enthusiasts or connoisseurs.

This book is also an excellent way to reflect on our consumption habits and on the multiple symbolic, social, and sensory dimensions that wine represents in our culture. Bucella invites us to question our personal relationship with this drink, whether during a simple dinner with friends, in a gourmet restaurant, or at significant ceremonies and events in our lives.

Renowned critics, such as Stéphane Reynaud from Figaro and Jacques Dupont from Le Point, have praised this book for its originality and clarity, making it a book to be put into everyone's hands.

A book to be savored without moderation for those who seek to understand why, over the centuries, wine has continued to exert such a fascination on humanity.
