Summary
Bernard Pivot: Dictionary of wine lovers
It contains autobiographies, readings, memories of fermentations, cellars, tables and bars... However, here is the most important thing: wine is culture. The culture of growing vines, but also cultivating the spirit.
The aspiration of this book is to bring this cultural dimension of a universal consumer product closer to a time that does not attach any more importance to wine than to alcohol obtained from corn or potatoes.
It may seem strange that I often speak with ease and fun about something that sprinkles our mouths and our souls.
For me, wine is joy. Why, then, should my ink be sour, astringent or dull. There is an expression that correctly expresses the social role of wine in France: honorable wine.
