The Look of Wine: Reading Wine Color

$50 · Offered by Kitchen Arts & Letters

A book about wine color might sound niche, but The Look of Wine manages to feel both unexpected and oddly essential. Rather than focusing on taste or aroma, this beautifully designed volume considers the visual side of wine, exploring how winemakers, sommeliers, scientists, and wine lovers describe, interpret, and work with its chromatic range. Organized by families of color (whites, reds, and rosés) the book pairs poetic language with lush photography to help articulate the many shades a wine can take. Rather than serve as a technical guide or reference, it reads more like a visual essay: meditative, vivid, and full of personality. A thoughtful gift for the wine lover who’s seen it all. Hardcover. Color photographs throughout. (Some sample pages show French text, but our copies are in English.)
