Do you know the difference between the nose and the bouquet? Is Rioja a region or a wine? What is an appellation? Why does champagne fizz?

While wine generates a lot of interest, its vocabulary can seem mysterious and the diversity of its grape varieties and styles perplexing.

This book demystifies the subject and decants it into savory sips. From the terroir to vinification, from the grape varieties to the wine regions, it provides an overview of the production and marketing of wine, not forgetting the pleasure of tasting.

The 50 main characteristics and specificities of wine are presented in two pages, 300 words, and one image, all assimilable in less than three minutes. Illustrated with beautiful photographs, this intelligent popularization work will awaken your taste buds and help you uncover the secrets of the wine world.
