Wein – Die grosse Schule

"Wine gives us, when it is good, a small moment of happiness," says Jens Priewe, one of the most renowned German wine journalists. But what is good wine? Why is so much fuss made about it? Why are some wines so rare and so expensive? Questions that wine lovers keep asking. "Wine – The Great School" provides answers to these questions. However, the answers today are not the same as they were ten or twenty years ago. The world of wine has changed. That is why Priewe has brought his "Great Wine School" up to the very latest standards. In addition to the classic wine regions like Bordeaux, Champagne, Rioja, and Tuscany, many new areas have emerged that produce excellent wines, about which wine drinkers still know little: Bierzo in Spain, Alentejo in Portugal, Jura in France, Burgenland in Austria, and the entire southern part of Italy, for example. Or exciting countries like Slovenia, Croatia, Greece, and Georgia. Priewe reveals why German wines have never been better than they are today. He analyzes the rosé boom and describes the four methods of rosé production. The new generation of wine drinkers is also less fixated on labels than the old one. They are curious about orange wines and Pét Nat, about vegan wines, Piwis, and sometimes even about non-alcoholic wines. The new edition of "Wine – The Great School" explains what these wines are all about.
