Naturalness is a hot topic in the wine world. But what exactly is a _natural wine_? For this pioneering book, best-selling wine writer Jamie Goode teams up with winemaker and Master of Wine Sam Harrop to explore the wide range of issues surrounding authenticity in wine. They begin by emphasizing that wine_s diversity, one of its strengths, is currently under threat from increasingly homogenized commercial wines that lack a sense of place. Drawing on a global array of examples and anecdotes, Goode and Harrop examine complex concepts_terroir, biodynamics, and sustainability_in clear language. They also discuss topics including cultured and wild yeasts, wine _faults,_ the carbon footprint of the wine industry, _natural_ as a marketing concept, and more. Authentic Wine illuminates a subject of great interest to wine producers, consumers, and anyone wondering where the wine industry is headed.
