Book excerpt: James Beard Book Award Nominee 2016 Readable Feast Winner 2016 From the author of The Audacity of Hops: The History of America's Craft Beer Revolution comes the triumphant tale of how America belted France from atop its centuries-old pedestal as the world's top wine-producing and wine-drinking nation. Until the mid-1970s, most American wine was far from fine. Instead, it was fortified and sweet, and came from grape varieties prized less for their taste than for their ability to ferment fast. Even in big cities, a bottle of domestically made Chardonnay or Merlot was hard to come by—and most Americans thought wine like that was for the wealthy anyway, not for them. Then a series of game-changing events and a group of plucky entrepreneurs transformed everything forever. Within a generation, America would stand unquestionably at the world vanguard of wine, reversing centuries of Eurocentrism and dominating the Field. This change spawned hundreds of thousands of jobs and billions of dollars in sales. European vintners found themselves altering centuries-old recipes and techniques to cater to these newly ascendant, free-spending tastes. The most popular fine wines worldwide became big, powerful, and loud—American, in other words. American Wine tells that story. All the big players and milestones are here, with never-before-told details and analyses based on fresh interviews. Written in a fast-moving, engaging style free of wine jargon, American Wine is the first of its kind: a book focused solely on the rise of fine wine in the United States since the early 1960s, in California and elsewhere, and how that rise altered the way the world drinks—for better or worse.

Download or read book BURP the other wine book written by Bas Korpel and published by Fitzroy Publishing. This book was released on 2020-11-25 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A wine book that turns the world of wine upside down. This time the starting point is not the differences between wine regions, grape varieties, top producers or exceptional terroir. In Burp - the other wine book the focus is on the design and the stories behind the labels. Bas Korpel, writer and wine specialist: “The world of wine is infinite. Behind every label, there is a story. And we strongly believe that a wine tastes better when you know the story behind it. While making the book we discovered stories about battling armies, a logistical nightmare and an inventive importer. Thanks to the book we got our hands on the work of the art director of The Godfather, a label turned into a sobriety test and we exposed an artist’s disputable choices he made during World War II. The good thing is that our readers can now discover all these trivia themselves.” Jur Baart, concept maker and illustrator: “By looking at wine from the starting point of the label, you suddenly get completely different stories when opening a nice bottle. You no longer have to be a ‘wine nerd’ to have an entertaining story at the table. Burp is suitable for both the wine freak and the novice enthusiast. It not only describes the wine, but also the world of design, storytelling and branding. " The book contains 260 pages and describes 40 different wines. The makers Bas Korpel and Jur Baart call it a "punk wine book", because not only the stories are outspoken, but also the illustrations and photography. They published Burp - the other wine book themselves under the name of Fitzroy Publishing.

Book excerpt: At first there were the horticulturists and wine growers, then came the wine makers, the coopers, and the cellar masters. Inevitably there were wine shippers and wine merchants. Chemists and biologists added their skills in the past two centuries, and only very recently came the oenologists and the professional wine tasters.
