Illustrated Wine A-Z (Revised 2022)
All wine regions now refer to wine 'production'. But France's traditional lexicon from its Old World roots can inform us all (here at the limits of decades of disastrous industrial food production).
Wine doesn't just 'ferment'; it gets schooled and raised Elevage is what makes wine educated and behaved Just as children have various systems of schooling Wine producers can follow paths of their choosing Industrial makers oversee big groups in and out quick Artisans mentor each pupil's reading, writing, 'rithmetic Organic producers shepherd wine through homeschool Biodynamics enlighten and teach all phases of moon Raw makers avoid interfering in the free-yeast breeze So their Unschool bunches learn just as they please
