Toronto Globe
From the melée and muddle of Italy s vinous past, Tuscany emerged triumphant. The world s restaurants began to clamour for its Chianti and the Super Tuscan rebel-wines that captured the hearts, palates and pockets of any wine lover who sipped them. It found fame and fortune but had it gone too far ?On Tuscany s authors unravel the truths of this enchanted vineyard its tortured landscape of clashing mountains and upended seas, its mysterious Etruscan forebears, the Medici aristocrats and warring tribes who fought to control it. And the stoic peasants, whose thwarted creativity and intuitive ways with wine won through in the end. It tells the story of its king of grapes, Sangiovese, and the courtiers that grapple for its throne, and of the maverick winemakers who harness this region s passion for wine today, steadying the roller coaster before it once again goes too far and too fast

Guide to Wine as well as a regular magazine columnist and contributor. The launch of the Académie du Vin Library in 2019 saw a return to specialist wine books for which Susan is a writer and editor-in-chief.

Here, she introduces the many ways in which we can taste it, talk it, appreciate it, choose it, understand it, and navigate its enjoyment with confidence. There are countless ways to engage with wine. If you are a history buff, it has a multi-thousand-year story to plumb. A lover of language and travel?

The book is divided into three sections, on the visual appreciation of wine, the taste of wine on the palate and the smell of wine, and explains the chemical and sensory aspects of each. The text is illuminated by accompanying graphics. The book concludes with six pairs of wines to taste, to allow readers to put into practice the ideas explored in the book. By understanding more fully the chemical and sensorial aspects of wine tasting readers will equip themselves to better appreciate each glass of wine they taste.

An appealing collection of his essays from Decanter and World of Fine Wine, which will appeal to the wine lover and literary reader alike Andrew poses and discusses a series of philosophical questions about our relationship with this extraordinary, living wine, made by artisans and large companies alike and enjoyed all over the world
A new direction for wine publishing
A new sort of literary gumption arrived on the scene with Andrew Jefford; a powerful blend of science and poetry. Here is a writer who does his interviews, delves deep into motives and methods, and then lets fly with whatever imagery he finds winging by. Hugh Johnson (2019)
Poet, philosopher, author, radio presenter and journalist, Andrew Jefford lives in France; but buried deep in one wine country what does he miss most about the rest? The answer: Drinking young port. It s the wine drinker s equivalent of zorbing, wing-walking, base-jumping you won t fully understand it unless you have tasted it young, in its Ride of the Valkyries stage, when it comes hurtling out of the glass and puts the screamers on you
Andrew is the ideal companion for anyone wine-curious. In this collection of his essays, opinions and articles he shares his fascinating observations from half a century of discovery. For Andrew, wine should be listened to and admired, wherever it comes from; old-school pretensions turned on their head; style-points disdained; stellar prices dismissed; questions asked
Andrew Jefford writes and broadcasts about different places on earth, and the foods, drinks and scents connected with them. He has written for most of the UK's wine and food press and has columns in Decanter and World of Fine Wine. Andrew and his family live near Montpellier in France. One of my favorite wine journalists, and a guy who is up in the top echelon with Matt Kramer and Jancis Robinson Andrew Jefford, has an exceptionally fair and balanced piece on the free Decanter magazine website called . Wither Tasting Notes most people would think this goes to the heart and soul of many wine magazines, blogs, etc. but he ,as he usually does, analyzes it in a rational way, something often missing in wine speak. BTW, his books, which I have consistently recommended, are another of his strengths. So heads-up. Robert Parker

As wineries increasingly embrace sustainable farming methods from water conservation strategies to regenerative viticulture practices the book will take readers through a comprehensive exploration of these pioneering approaches. The book will feature a mix of expert commentary, indepth case studies, and engaging storytelling that illustrates how sustainability is being embraced across the global wine community from regenerative farming practices at Tablas Creek in California to innovative water management strategies in Australia s Barossa Valley.
Appealing to a wide range of readers, from those in the sustainability industry to other sectors, both agricultural and broader product manufacturing sectors.
The book is co-authored by Jane Masters MW, a Master of Wine with a profound commitment to sustainability in the global wine industry, and Andrew Neather, a respected journalist and former wine critic for the London Evening Standard. Together, they will provide a thoughtful exploration of how the wine industry can evolve in response to climate change, resource management, and shifting consumer expectations.

Author Natasha Hughes MW is an experienced journalist who has built a reputation as an expert on Beaujolais over the last 20 years (Instagram @latashmw; 1,767 followers)
In The Wines of Beaujolais Natasha Hughes MW guides readers expertly to a greater understanding of the diversity of wines made in the region. In the last few years the quality of wines emerging from Beaujolais has risen dramatically, yet many still associate the region with Beaujolais Nouveau. From the 1960s onward the region became best known for these fun, unsophisticated wines, which were released just a few weeks after harvest. Nouveau brought financial security to the region, but the extraordinary level of demand for these wines also led to industrialised methods of farming and wine production. The resulting decline in quality ultimately damaged Beaujolais s reputation. Most wine lovers were unaware that, in parallel with this, there was a movement in the region to re-establish Beaujolais s historic reputation as a source of fine wines. The focus was on terroir, respect for the environment and considered winemaking all things valued by today s wine lovers. This movement has gained momentum in recent years and Beaujolais is now a region with ambitions to match up to the reputation conferred on its neighbours in Burgundy and the Rhône.
Natasha Hughes is a Master of Wine. She graduated in 2014, winning several prizes, including the Mondavi Award for the best overall marks in the theory papers and the Outstanding Achievement Award. She began her journalistic career in wine working as the deputy editor of Decanter s website in 2001 and has since established herself as a respected freelance writer, with articles published by magazines such as Decanter, Australian Gourmet Traveller Wine, Club Oenologique and Square Meal, as well as websites including jancisrobinson.com and timatkin.com. Natasha is a regular contributor to books published by the Academy du Vin Library (including a chapter on Beaujolais for On Burgundy) and, for many years, contributed the Alsace, Loire and Beaujolais sections to Oz Clarke s annual guide.

The science behind how wine works and why it tastes like it does Information is packaged in bite-sized chunks, with helpful text boxes, to make it easy to follow, understand and absorb The wine book all wine novices need, not condescending and aimed at a younger audience than most wine books
The Cynic s Guide to Wine, by Sunny Hodge is one of the best wine books I have read in a long while. Yorkshire Post
All in all it s a very useful and enjoyable read Life
Much of what is written about wine, whether in wine books, on bottle labels or in the Sunday supplements uses language that gives wine an air of mystery. While compelling and enticing for the consumer this can also lead to confusion regarding the science of wine as well as fear on the part of the inexperienced wine drinker of getting wine wrong . In The Cynic s Guide to Wine Sunny Hodge strips wine back to its basic science and unravels the facts behind wine flavours, showing readers a clear path through the verbiage. The text takes in elements of horticulture, soil science, botany and sensory science as well as oenology and is provided in bite-sized chunks aimed at the curious nonscientist. This is a straightforward and eye-opening book for anybody who has ever wanted to question the stories told around wine but was afraid to ask.
The wine book all novice wine drinkers need: strips away the pretension and explains what really matters when it comes to producing the flavours in your glass of wine.
Questions many of the things we take for granted when it comes to wine, from terroir to the science of wine making.
Author is the award-winning owner of two London wine bars who has earned a reputation as a disruptor in the wine trade.
Sunny Hodge completed a degree in Mechanical Engineering before embarking on a career in hospitality. He worked his way up from fast food restaurants to become a founding team member at Paulo de Tarso and Nicholas Jaouën s London restaurant, Margot. His scientific training has always lead him to look for the how and why behind food and wine and he currently runs science-based wine tastings and is developing programmes to provide wine education based around science and functionality. Hodge is the founder and owner of two wine bars in south London, Diogenes the Dog and aspen & meursault, for which he was awarded Entrepreneur of the Year at the Southwark Business Awards. Both wine bars showcase unusual and lesser known wines and share a mission to educate customers about wine.
