Hey all, I will have some time to read and so in preparation of my sparkling wine exam for the D4 unit of the Diploma, I'm looking for great books about sparkling wine specifically. Any recommendations?
There have been several publications over the last decade and at least a couple last year!Below a list from some well established authorities on the subject.In chronological order:Stevenson, Tom, and Essi Avellan. Christie's World Encyclopedia of Champagne & Sparkling Wine. Absolute Press, 2014.
Liem, Peter. Champagne: The Essential Guide to the Wines, Producers, and Terroirs of the Iconic Region. Clarkson Potter/Ten Speed Press, 2017.
Stelzer, Tyson. The Champagne Guide Edition VII. Hardie Grant Books, 2024.
Rose, Anthony. Fizz!: Champagne and Sparkling Wines of the World. Academie du Vin Library, 2024.
[You've probably sat the exam by now, but the books still offer solid references for any sparkling wine enthusiast and professional.]
Has anyone found further books on the subject (or had experience with any of the above)?
