Passionate about wine from a young age and now a wine taster, Arnaud Immélé enthusiastically introduces us to the mysteries of wine, from its manufacture to its consumption. There are many contemporary books dedicated to wine; often, they can be reduced to advice on wine-tasting or choosing according to particular meals. The traditional, even sacred, aspects are absent from such works, a gap which this book successfully fills. Wine, we are told, is "above all a work of art, a labour of Man, the alchemist; having fully bloomed, it lavishes this fulfilment on its consumers". We will learn to communicate with this work of art using all five senses, but even more, to commune with it. Arnaud Immélé provides the key to this communication and communion.
