Why GeoVino? Because wine is not just a drink. It is geology in a glass, a liquid story of soil, climate and centuries-old processes. We connect the “Geo” with the “Vino” in a way you have never experienced before. We dive into the geodiversity that makes each wine unique and help you understand the geological origins behind every aroma and flavour nuance. Just as geological sites have their own unique scientific and educational value, so too does each wine have its own story to tell, rooted in the earth.
This is definitely not an e-book that intimidates you with incomprehensible jargon about ‘terroir’ and ‘tannins’. Instead, you get a refreshing guide that brings wine back to where it belongs: with people, pleasure and connection. Whether you're holding a corkscrew for the first time or have been drinking wine for years, this book speaks your language - literally!
The anti-snobbery manifesto: this book dares to say what everyone thinks: wine should be enjoyable, not pretentious. With humour and warmth, you will learn that Pinot Noir goes perfectly with fish tacos - as long as it makes you happy!
The ebook is available in a handy PDF format at a very attractive price. The book is also available in limited quantities in Belgium/Dutch as a hardcover edition. Invest in yourself and turn every wine experience into an adventure full of laughter, discovery and genuine connection with good friends, because life is too short for boring wine.
