A breath of fresh air with an inspiring spirit, to be given immediately to those who like wine and life, for the general reading of professionals as well as neophytes, from 7 to the age of Methuselah.
In 120 definitions, the wine is vinified, elaborated, overused, dissected, through to the bitter end, but always with humour, between impertinence and absurdity. From “Alcohol” to “Zymase”, you laugh and have a good time, alone or not, and learn about some things of the wine world that others whisper and that Jean-Pierre Gauffre shouts out loud from A to Z.
The author: Jean-Pierre Gauffre, journalist, columnist and humorist, leaves Paris in 1996 after a career on the radio and television. He settles in the Bordeaux region (Gironde) and takes up his first job again by creating ‘Le Journal du Médoc’ of which he will be the editor in chief until 2009. Currently he works for France Info and France Bleu Gironde with humorous columns on the news.
The illustrations are from Arnaud Faugas, painter, llustrator and draughtsman, who lives in Bordeaux (www.arnaudfaugas.net).
