An invigorating guide for tasting, naming, and visualizing the chromatic diversity of wine

While smell and taste dominate the experience of sipping wine, Florence de La Riviére turns our eyes to its color, instead inspiring an artistic and visual approach to wine tasting. Throughout The Look of Wine, readers will meet winegrowers, oenologists, sommeliers, and scientists to weave a canvas of universal words representing the chromatic palette of wines. Alongside this descriptive vocabulary, original photography captures the authenticity of color while leaving room for interpretation. Each family of color is visually represented by a wine, with a description of its hues and the natural and human processes that contributed to creating it. Neither a directory of the colors of wine nor a technical encyclopedia, The Look of Wine is a living tribute to oenology’s chromatic diversity, with a focus on still, unmutated whites and reds, as well as rosés.
