SHORTLISTED FOR THE ANDRE SIMON DRINKS BOOK AWARD 2024

A DECANTER BEST WINE BOOK OF 2024

WINNER OF AN OIV AWARD 2024

"Dazzling" The Times Literary Supplement

"Wine lovers who read this book will deeply, richly profit" The Best Wine Books of 2024 by Eric Asimov, The New York Times

"Written by the very impressive Pacaline Lepeltier, one of a handful of female master sommeliers and, in my opinion, the best in the world, she can be trusted to guide you and inform you on your wine journey... It's an all-knowing textbook perfect for a wine nerd like me." - Eugene Shevertalov, Conde Nast Traveler

"This book is every wine book you ever needed and every wine book you could ever want." - JancisRobinson.com

"Whether you're a curious enthusiast or seasoned connoisseur, Lepeltier offers the keys to unlock wine's mysteries, one vine at a time. So no, this book isn't about one thousand vines alone; but about equipping you to embrace wine's vast, beautiful, and interconnected world with clarity and confidence." - Forbes

One Thousand Vines is an exceptional achievement worthy of a special place on your wine bookshelf." - The Wine Economist

"A masterpiece that offers a deep dive into the world of wine. It's a testament to its author's passion, expertise, and commitment to sustainable practices." - Robert Parker Wine Advocate

'A remarkable book, a once-in-a-generation book, quite unlike any other, reflecting a profound understanding of the world of wine... It's a tremendous work of synthesis, broad in its scope, thoroughly up to date, imaginative, philosophical, scientific, and profound. There's nothing like it.' - Jamie Goode

"Lepeltier's expertise is addictive and admirable. The talents that made her an in-demand sommelier and lecturer are the same qualities that come through in her writing." - Drinkhacker

"Entwining culture, philosophy, history, and science, Pascaline Lepeltier's One Thousand Vines is nothing short of an astonishing work of genius. This is an essential resource for understanding wine in all its marvellous complexity." - Alice Feiring

One Thousand Vines is a crucial resource for understanding wine on both a global and local scale, and an essential read for anyone who loves wine." - Jon Bonne

"Pascaline's work is essential for anyone who wants to fully understand wine. Additionally, you will find a multitude of conceptual maps and illustrations that make the reading even more delightful." - Ferran Centelles

One Thousand Vines is the price of a good bottle of Ca

About the Author

Pascaline Lepeltier is probably the most decorated female sommelier on the planet. She is one of only 25 or so women to have been certified a Master Sommelier, and was the first woman to be named Meilleur Sommelier de France and also Meilleur Ouvrier de France (MOF). In 2024, she received the Decanter Rising Star award. Pascaline has written for various prominent wine guides and books in France, and is a contributor to The Oxford Companion to Wine.

Having grown up in the Loire Valley, she left an academic career in philosophy to enter the world of wine at a young age. After winning numerous awards and accolades in France, she moved to New York in 2009 to open the US outpost of the famed Michelin-star restaurant Rouge Tomate, hailed by Eric Asimov in the New York Times as 'world-class, with exquisite taste'. She has since joined the wine-focused restaurant Chambers.
