Two fascinating, ground-breaking books on wine’s taste: “Le souffle du vin” and “Les parfums du vin”

Per Karlsson — Thu, 09 May 2024 13:37:37 +0000

Describing wine is, at the same time, very personal and very scientific. What you perceive when you sniff or taste a wine depends on your own previous experiences (and imagination) and how your brain makes associations. However, it is also entirely based on chemicals; the smells and tastes come from volatile chemical compounds in wine […]

Stowell’s Guide to the Wines and Wineries of Cyprus, by Matthew Stowell | Book Review

Per Karlsson — Tue, 04 Jul 2023 08:06:44 +0000

Stowell’s Guide to the Wines and Wineries of Cyprus by Matthew Stowell is probably the only book about Cypriot wines; at least, it is the only one I’ve seen. The core of the book is the 56 winery profiles. It covers – according to the author – all wineries (or almost) in Cyprus. Each profile […]

We Don’t Want Any Crap in Our Wines, by Camilla Gjerde | Book Review

Britt Karlsson — Thu, 23 Dec 2021 09:39:26 +0000

Camilla Gjerde fell in love with natural wines in 2008 when she drank a Sicilian frappato made by Arianna Occhipinti. Eventually, the dream of making a book about natural wines was born. Several of her favourite wines are made by women, and that became the theme of the book: women who make natural wines. The […]

The Japanese Saké Bible | book review

Per Karlsson — Fri, 19 Mar 2021 15:39:36 +0000

Not only wine is worth drinking. Saké too. That is certainly Brian Ashcraft’s conviction. He tries to convey all his passion for sake and all his knowledge (or at least a good part of it) in his book The Japanese Saké Bible. And he does an excellent job of it. Sake (as it is also […]

“The Mythology of Wine” by Arthur George, a book review

Britt Karlsson — Sun, 14 Feb 2021 16:49:21 +0000

Was it, in fact, a grape and not an apple that Adam and Eve ate in Paradise? It is worth thinking about. At least that is the opinion of Arthur George, historian and winemaker. In the conveniently small book “The Mythology of Wine” he guides us through the mythology of wine, from the beginning around […]

The life of a wine region in Jon Wyand’s Four Seasons in Cote Chalonnaise | Per on Forbes

Per Karlsson — Sun, 17 Nov 2019 18:08:47 +0000

The Cote Chalonnaise is what you could call a “low-key” wine region. There are no famous names. No exorbitantly priced wines (as opposed to other parts of Burgundy). No famous cities. It’s just a normal wine region. This book is exactly a reflection of that. It is a low-key wine book. Four Seasons in Cote […]

Champagne by Michael Edwards | book review

Per Karlsson — Sat, 14 May 2016 09:18:11 +0000

“The Finest Wines of Champagne” by Michael Edwards is an excellent introduction to the bubbly wines from northern France. The book focuses primarily on presenting a number of the most famous producers, many of the famous houses are included and some independent growers. The selection is not overwhelmingly original, it’s mostly old classic acquaintances, but […]

The business of Bordeaux and China | Per on Forbes

Per Karlsson — Mon, 28 Dec 2015 17:50:57 +0000

A few years back China became Bordeaux’s biggest export market. Over a few years the Chinese market grew from almost nothing to become the market that Bordeaux could not live without. How this happened is the subject of a new book, Thirsty Dragon, China’s Lust for Bordeaux and the Threat to the World’s Best Wines, […]
