Foreword by Pascaline Lepeltier, MOF Sommelier in 2018

"Much more than a book about hybrid grape varieties."

— Pascaline Lepeltier

At first glance, it's a book about wine, viticulture, and hybrid grape varieties.

In reality, it's something much bigger. Through the story of his estate in the Jura region, Les Pieds sur Terre, Valentin Morel explores our relationship with work, nature, progress, tradition, and the way we choose to live.

Part memoir, part chronicle of the vineyard, part social commentary, Another Wine invites readers to question the systems that shape our lives and to reconsider what truly matters.

With honesty, intelligence, and remarkable humility, Morel shares his successes and failures, his doubts, convictions, discoveries, and disappointments.

His reflections flow seamlessly from the vineyard to economics, from agronomy to philosophy, from daily work to broader societal questions.

Far beyond wine, this book speaks to farmers, artisans, entrepreneurs, decision-makers, thinkers, and all those seeking meaning in their work.

It is a book about reconnecting mind, hand, and heart. This is a book about choosing life over abstraction.

It's a book about the future of agriculture, culture, and craftsmanship. And above all, it's a profoundly human story.

"You get immersed in this book like in a novel."

"I read it in one sitting."

 — Pascaline Lepeltier

For wine lovers, this is an essential book.

For everyone else, it's perhaps even more important.

What you'll discover by reading Another Wine:

• A unique perspective on hybrid grape varieties and the future of winemaking.

• A compelling reflection on work, meaning, and modern society.

• A deeply personal and beautifully written narrative.

• A rare bridge between practical agriculture and philosophical inquiry.

• A book that challenges assumptions while remaining accessible and engaging.
