Wild Yeasts · English edition

17 extraordinary stories about wine!

Wine is more than just a drink made from grapes. That’s why the stories told in Wild Yeasts are not only about wine itself, but also about our civilisation, human discoveries, politics and war, art, culture, pop culture, and our relationship with nature.

This book is the result of my many journeys, conversations with winemakers, and hundreds of books and articles I’ve read. In it, I share with you my passion, discoveries, favourite places around the world, films and books. And most importantly, my knowledge.

I invite you to join me on a journey through this extraordinary world.

FAQ

Why is the eBook only available as a PDF?

We’ve put a lot of effort into making this book visually stunning and unique in its design: it features many photographs and a highly original graphic layout, close to that of a magazine. All of this means the book is best enjoyed in PDF format. This file type ensures it opens correctly on any device. We’ve designed the book to be most comfortably read on a computer screen or tablet — but it works fine on a smartphone too.

Why does the eBook cost almost the same as the print version?

The biggest cost in creating a book lies in the content itself — gaining the knowledge, writing the text, editing, designing the layout and cover, typesetting, proofreading, and so on. Printing is only a part of the whole process. That’s why we always price the book the same, regardless of the format.

How long will I have to wait for delivery?

Your parcel will be ready for dispatch within one business day from the moment the order is paid. Depending on the delivery method, the book will reach you within 3–5 business days, depending on the country.

Can I order gift wrapping and send it to someone?

Absolutely! Just tick the gift-wrapping option in the basket (15 zł), and we’ll wrap everything in elegant paper and tie it with a lovely ribbon 😊

What if the payment doesn’t go through?

Look for an email from the payment gateway — it will contain options to complete your transaction. If that doesn’t work, just contact us and we’ll send you our bank account details for a traditional transfer.
