Congratulations to Jeremy Cukierman MW, Michelle Bouffard and Herve Quinol on the publication of their new French language book on wine and climate change, entitled What Wine for Tomorrow?
Cukierman (left) and Bouffard (back row, to the right of Cukierman) are featured in this celebratory photo, commemorating the book's publication at a Parisian wine shop.
(To see a who's who in the photo, go to Cukierman's Instagram feed here for the tagged version).
The book is published by Dunod. It's available in both hardcover and as an ebook.
The three authors bring a variety of experiences to the project. Herve Quinol is a climate scientist, Bouffard a Canadian sommelier who runs the Tasting Climate Change conference, and Cukierman, a former wine merchant, an MW, and now dean of Kedge Wine Business School in Bordeaux.
In Vitisphere, a French wine publication, Cukierman is quoted as saying, “We are sharing everything that seemed inspiring to us, all the worthy initiatives, the questions and the answers. The book embraces the entire supply chain with a single ambition, and that is to take a positive approach to an issue that is often anxiety-inducing or alarmist."
“Announcing major predictions should be done with caution. The great vineyard sites were chosen for a combination of factors, one of which is climate. Only this factor has changed and Vitis vinifera is a very resilient plant with the ability to adapt. Some ancient forecasts predicted that certain grape varieties would disappear, but they are still here!”

The publisher may release an English language version, but until then, you will just have to brush up on your French. Both the print and Kindle version are available online on Amazon.
