A must-have volume for all wine lovers and those who love orange wine.
Written by renowned orange wine expert and award winning writer Simon J.
Woolf, Amber Revolution is the world's first book to tell the full,
forgotten story of this ancient wine (white wine made like a red wine)
and its modern struggle to gain acceptance. It is a tale of lost
identity, the fight for survival, and pioneering winemakers--from the
Caucasus to the Adriatic. White grapes are left in contact with their
skins for days, weeks or months during fermentation, creating stunning
complexity, unusual aromas and intense flavors. The extended skin
contact gives these wines bold amber, russet, or orange tints. The
technique is ancient, but the hype is new and fast growing. This book
includes profiles of 180 of the best producers from 20 countries
worldwide and is crammed full of all the information you need to find
the best orange wines worldwide together with tips for how to buy,
enjoy, food-match and age them. Beautifully illustrated with over 150
specially commissioned photos, Amber Revolution is an essential
reference work for any wine lover, sommelier, retailer or producer who
loves orange wine. Written by renowned orange wine expert and award
