Almost Everything About Wine: Learn from Comics


The number of people looking for wine has increased significantly.
Convenience stores and supermarkets have large wine sections, and Instagram stories showcasing wine are common on Friday evenings.
According to the Korea Customs Service, wine imports increased by 25% between 2018 and last year.
However, unlike other alcoholic beverages, there are countless types of wine, so it is not easy to find a wine that suits your taste.
No matter how much you look at the wine bottle, there is no helpful description, so you often end up asking the staff for recommendations or searching for cost-effective wines or wine recommendations.
There are many different ways to drink wine, including how much to pour, how to decant, and so on, so it is true that the threshold is high for wine beginners.


Here is a book for readers who want to know and drink wine.

By following them through the vineyards of Burgundy, the wineries of Chablis, the wine events of Clos Vougeot, and the organic wine fair, you can naturally become familiar with French wine.

Publisher's Review
* From basic wine types to high-end wines to suit your taste
Wine knowledge accumulated while traveling around France

The main character of this book, Lucien Design Team Leader, is not a wine expert like most of the readers who open this book.
Lucien begins learning the basics of wine from marketing manager Jang and planner Charlotte to get a job at a liquor advertising agency.
Jean and Charlotte accompany Lucien on his wine tours of France, from Burgundy to Bordeaux, sharing their knowledge of wine with him.

Lucien learns the basics of wine classification from Jean, such as dry and sweet wine, still (non-carbonated) wine, and sparkling wine, and that wine style is influenced by various factors such as grape variety, terroir (place of production), producer, and vintage.
You'll learn how to identify good wines based on the balance of sugar, alcohol, acidity, and tannin, how to taste wine, and what kind of wines grape varieties like Chardonnay, Grenache, and Merlot produce.

Travel across the country to representative wine regions such as Burgundy, Bordeaux, Alsace, Provence, and Jura, and experience the unique wine production methods of each region.
For example, you will experience the environment and process through which unique wines such as noble wines and vin de payeux are made, and you will naturally come to understand wine classifications such as AOP and Grand Cru.
At the end of this journey, readers of this book will be able to develop an eye for wine along with Lucien.
