Atlas of Unusual Wines

Night harvest, a peace wine blending over 600 varieties from around the world, vines standing 15 metres tall in Intaly and Portugal, ice wines from Québec, a wine from the Gobi desert, Taiwan s huge yields, harvesting on 31 December, classical music among the vines, a Bordeaux made with dry ice, a sparkling wine for disgorgement at home… This book features the viticultural techniques of many countries; they are far enough off the radar to delight anyone who loves originality and hates standardisation. Pierrick Bourgault (winner of the Grand Prix of the Association Française des Journalistes Agricoles), has spent thirty years travelling the world in a quest to unearth dozens of unusual wines. His atlas ranges from conventional practices explained in an informative way to the least-known expertise and techniques.
