Un traité d'oenologie ? Pas du tout. Un lexique de la vigne et du vin ? Pas seulement. Volontiers décalé et impertinent, ce dictionnaire en appelle au souvenir plus qu'à la science, à l'instinct plus qu'à l'expertise. Son ambition : conduire le lecteur à la délectation, sinon à l'ivresse. Sans négliger de distiller d'utiles conseils sur les arômes, les accords, les cépages et même le choix des verres... Anecdotes, citations, émotions, découvertes, souvenirs de partage, alliances littéraires et artistiques... De A comme Abstème à Z comme Zincs, en passant par E comme Etiquette ou P comme Pauillac, ce bréviaire hédoniste, spirituel autant que spiritueux, est un hymne alphabétique à l'amitié et à la connivencia, valeurs inséparables des vrilles du cep. Tout à l'éloge du sang de la treille, Léon Mazzella rappelle à chaque page que boire est un plaisir avant d'être un savoir.

A captivating survey of the science of wine and winemaking for anyone who has ever wondered about the magic of the fermented grape An excellent bottle of wine can be the spark that inspires a brainstorming session. Such was the case for Ian Tattersall and Rob DeSalle, scientists who frequently collaborate on book and museum exhibition projects. When the conversation turned to wine one evening, it almost inevitably led the two-one a palaeoanthropologist, the other a molecular biologist-to begin exploring the many intersections between science and wine. This book presents their fascinating, freewheeling answers to the question "What can science tell us about wine?" And vice versa. Conversational and accessible to everyone, this colorfully illustrated book embraces almost every imaginable area of the sciences, from microbiology and ecology (for an understanding of what creates this complex beverage) to physiology and neurobiology (for insight into the effects of wine on the mind and body). The authors draw on physics, chemistry, biochemistry, evolution, and climatology, and they expand the discussion to include insights from anthropology, primatology, entomology, Neolithic archaeology, and even classical history. The resulting volume is indispensible for anyone who wishes to appreciate wine to its fullest.
