ABOUT THE ACADEMIE DU VIN LIBRARY CLASSIC EDITIONS SERIES

The Classic Editions breathe new life into some of the finest wine-related titles written in the English language over the last 150 years. Although these books are very much products of their time – a time when the world of fine wine was confined mostly to the frontiers of France and the Iberian Peninsula and a First Growth Bordeaux or Grand Cru Burgundy wouldn’t be beyond the average purse – together they recapture a world of convivial, enthusiastic amateurs and larger-than-life characters whose love of fine vintages mirrored that of life itself. Many of the titles are still much in demand, as a glance on Amazon will show. The Académie du Vin Library is proud to be republishing them, along with insightful introductions by our favourite wine writers of the present day.

This set includes:

A Contemplation of Wine
by H Warner Allen
An entertaining study of wine through the ages.

Stay Me With Flagons
by Maurice Healy
A love letter to wine from a brilliant Irish raconteur.

Wayward Tendrils of the Vine
by Ian Maxwell Campbell
An affectionate glimpse back to the Golden Age of wine.

In the Vine Country
by Edith Someville & Martin Ross
Anglo-Irish cousins and writing companions set out on a harvest-time journey through the vineyards of Bordeaux.
