First and foremost, we are wine lovers! The Académie du Vin Library was founded by Steven Spurrier and friends, dedicated to publishing the finest wine writing of the past, present and future. The name goes back to Steven’s days in Paris in the 1970s, when he began running wine appreciation courses for his English-speaking friends.
Our list is small – and will never be large – because we value quality over quantity. We choose our books with care, above all for their readability and because we believe they have something important to say about the world of fine wine. We are proud to publish many of the world's leading authors and wine experts. You can read more about them here.
