In 'My Wine Memoirs', José Peñín, Spain's foremost wine expert, offers us a viticultural autobiography that is much more than just a personal account. It is the story of a privileged witness to the greatest revolution in the history of wine worldwide. Through its pages, Peñín narrates the profound changes that have transformed the production, elaboration, trade, communication, consumption and even the aesthetics of wine from the late seventies to the present day.
This book reveals how wine has evolved from being a food product to a hedonistic and cultural object. Peñín shares anecdotes and experiences accumulated throughout his career as a wine traveler, tasting and conversing with winemakers, oenologists and winegrowers around the world. With a sociological and costumbrista style, the author shows us how what was once normal has become an exception thanks to the passage of time and technological advances.
