NATURAL WINE FOR THE PEOPLE

A compact illustrated guide to the emerging and enormously popular category of natural wine, a style that focuses on minimal intervention, lack of additives, and organic and biodynamic growing methods.

Today, wine is more popular than it's ever been - and millennials are leading the charge, drinking more wine than any other generation in history. Many have started to seek out natural wine - that is, organic or biodynamic wine made with nothing added, and nothing taken away - a movement that has completely rocked the wine industry in recent years (and I know many other countries been ahead of us on this trend). While all of the hippest restaurants and wine bars are touting their natural wine lists, and while more and more consumers are calling for natural wine by name, there is still a lot of confusion about what exactly natural wine is, where to find it, and how to enjoy it.

In NATURAL WINE FOR THE PEOPLE, James Beard Award-winner Alice Feiring sets the record straight, offering a pithy, accessible guide filled with easy definitions, tips and tricks for sourcing the best wines, whimsical illustrations, a definitive list to the must-know producers and bottlings, and an appendix with the best shops and restaurants specializing in natural wine, making this the must-buy and must-gift wine book of the year.

Alice Feiring is the grande dame of the natural wine movement; she is the winner of both the James Beard and Louis Roederer Wine Writing awards, and was named Imbibe Magazine's 2013 Wine Person of the Year.
