ACADÉMIE DU VIN LIBRARY 2025
Welcome to the Académie du Vin Library. We were founded by Steven Spurrier and Hugh Johnson to publish the best wine writing and we hope you will find titles for every facet of your interest in wine in this catalogue.
With last year’s acquisition of the Classic Wine Library we are now the world’s leading wine publisher, offering over 100 titles that focus on fascinating wine regions, hero winemakers and wines you will want to know more about. We are proud to number many of the world’s greatest wine writers and most respected experts on our list. And we choose our books with care – above all for their readability, but also because we genuinely believe they have something important to say about the world of fine wine that will enhance your drinking pleasure.
Our books aim to bring you the best of modern wine writing and to provide the colour, the background and the essential understanding on which any true enjoyment of fine wine depends. We also bring you books published by other wine publishers and writers who we believe need the specialist audience only we can provide. And we publish beautiful new editions of old books with updates and additional material that make them relevant to a modern readership without in any way altering the charm or the essential wisdom of the originals. Fine wine writing, like wine itself, represents an accumulation of knowledge over the ages. Our aim is to pick the best and to let it breathe again. Enjoy.

How the wine industry is responding to the challenges it faces
New from the Classic Wine Library
ROOTED IN CHANGE
The Stories Behind Sustainable Wine
JANE MASTERS MW & ANDREW NEATHER
Académie du Vin Library is delighted to announce a new collaboration with The Vine Strategy Group to co-publish a compelling new title on the intersection of wine and sustainability. This groundbreaking book explores the entire spectrum of environmental, social and economic issues facing the wine industry today – from climate change and resource management to packaging and evolving consumer expectations. Rooted in Change is co-authored by Jane Masters, a Master of Wine with a profound commitment to sustainability in the global wine industry, and Andrew Neather, a respected journalist and former wine critic for the London Evening Standard. Together, they provide a thoughtful and accessible exploration of how the wine industry can evolve in response to the greatest challenges of our era.
About the author Jane Masters MW is a Master of Wine, oenologist and MBA with extensive experience in retail and the international wine trade. She was a former Director of the Institute of Masters of Wine (IMW) and is a founding member of the IMW’s Sustainability committee. Andrew Neather is a freelance British wine journalist. He now blogs weekly on wine and food at https://aviewfrommytable.substack. com/ and writes a regular column for Tim Atkin MW’s website.
THE WINES OF BEAUJOLAIS
In the last few years the quality of wines emerging from Beaujolais has risen dramatically, yet many still associate it with Beaujolais Nouveau – fun, unsophisticated wines released just a few weeks after harvest. Nouveau brought financial security to the region, but also led to industrialized methods of farming and wine production that ultimately damaged Beaujolais’s reputation. Most wine lovers remained unaware that in parallel with this was a movement to re-establish Beaujolais’s historic reputation as a source of fine wines, with a focus on terroir, respect for the environment and considered winemaking. Unsurprisingly this movement has gained increased momentum in recent years, and Beaujolais is now a region with ambitions to match up to the reputation conferred on its neighbours in Burgundy and the Rhône.
About the author Natasha Hughes graduated as a Master of Wine in 2014, winning several prizes, including the Mondavi Award for the best overall marks in the theory papers and the Outstanding Achievement Award. She began her journalistic career in wine working as the deputy editor of Decanter’s website in 2001 and has since established herself as a respected freelance writer, with articles published in Decanter, Australian Gourmet Traveller Wine, Club Oenologique and Square Meal, as well as jancisrobinson.com and timatkin.com. Natasha has also contributed to books published by the Academy du Vin Library and Oz Clarke’s annual guide.

Our founder's take on the art of winemaking
Essential reading for those new to fine wine
STEVEN SPURRIER’S ACADEMIE DU VIN WINE COURSE
FOREWORD BY TIM MONDAVI
Back in 1972, in Paris, the late Steven Spurrier founded the Académie du Vin – wine appreciation classes that blended factual information with practical tasting experience – and in the 1980s his Académie du Vin Wine Course became a best-selling book. Now we are delighted to honour Steven’s legacy by publishing an-all new edition, fully revised and updated to reflect the wine world of today. True to the spirit of the original, Steven Spurrier’s Académie du Vin Wine Course takes the reader logically through every aspect of wine appreciation: how to taste wine like the professionals; why the ways in which grapes are grown and wines are made have such a profound impact on the final taste; the characteristics of the most popular grape varieties and the world’s wine-growing regions; and last, but certainly not least, how to store and collect wine so that you can appreciate it in years to come. Whether you’re a newcomer to fine wine or already an afficionado, there is no more enjoyable or concise way to take your learning to the next level. .

THE CYNIC'S GUIDE TO WINE
SUNNY
HODGE
Much of what is written about wine, whether in books, on bottle labels or in the Sunday supplements, uses language that gives it an air of mystery. Sunny Hodge strips wine back to its basic science and unravels the facts behind its flavours, clearing a clear path through the verbiage. This is a straightforward and eyeopening book for anybody who has ever questioned the stories told around wine but was afraid to ask.

Anthologies to dip into, or immerse yourself in totally
EXCLUSIVE TO ACADÉMIE DU VIN LIBRARY
, the ‘On’ series anthologies gather together some of the finest wine writers and specialists ever to put pen to paper. Each book focuses on one of the world’s major wine-growing regions and brings its flavours, its characters, its landscape and the story of its wines to life. Curated by Editorial Director Susan Keevil, these fascinating books aim to illuminate, elucidate and entertain. Let the journey unfold as you browse, or dip in and dip out as the fancy takes you… these books are the perfect accompaniment to your favourite glass, and an inspiration to try out vineyards new.
ON TUSCANY
Expert authors unravel the truths of this enchanted vineyard – its tortured landscape of clashing mountains and upended seas, its mysterious Etruscan forebears, the Medici aristocrats and warring tribes who fought to control it. And the stoic peasants, whose thwarted creativity and intuitive ways with wine won through in the end. It tells the story of its king of grapes, Sangiovese, and the courtiers that grapple for its throne, and of the maverick winemakers who harness this region’s passion for wine today, steadying the rollercoaster before it once again goes too far and too fast…
With contributions from Andrew Jefford, Hugh Johnson, Nicolas Belfrage MW, Jancis Robinson MW, David Gleave MW, Walter Speller, Gabriele Gorelli MW, Burton Anderson, Ruth Rogers, Neil Beckett, Victoria Moore, Gerald Asher, D. H. Lawrence and Fiona Morrison MW.

DRINKING WITH THE VALKYRIES
Writings on Wine
ANDREW JEFFORD
Poet, philosopher, author, radio presenter and journalist, Andrew Jefford is the ideal companion for anyone wine-curious. In this collection of essays and opinions he spans back through the mists of 80 or 90 centuries and forwards to the wine countries and cultures of today, sharing his fascinating observations from five decades of discovery.
For Andrew, wine should be listened to and admired, wherever it comes from; old-school pretentions turned on their head; style-points disdained; stellar prices dismissed; questions asked... And his secret wine pleasure? Drinking port young, in its ‘Ride of the Valkyries’ stage ‘when it comes hurtling out of the glass and puts the screamers on you…’
