See how a volume reads

Two minutes inside Piedmont Uncorked: what a page looks like, how deep it goes and why it sticks.

Learn wine like you read manga

Burgundy, Piedmont and Champagne, explained one page at a time. Mud-tasting monks, furious dukes, the Barolo Wars, the devil’s wine and every cru that matters. Study level detail. Zero snobbery.

Wine books are dry. Wine is not.

ONE PAGE

One page, one idea

Every page stands alone: a village, a grape, a soil, a feud. Read one on the train and you have learned something you can use at the bottle shop tonight.

ONE STORY

Stories make it stick

You will forget a list of 33 grands crus. You will not forget the duke who banned a grape, or the emperor whose beard created a white wine.

FULL DEPTH

Study level, not dumbed down

Volume 01 gets a beginner fluent. Volumes 02 to 05 go deep: soils, viticulture, cellar choices, key producers and a final exam in every book.

Tap a page. Read it full size.

Six real pages, full size. Subscribers read all three opening volumes free, cover to cover.

Three regions. Fifteen volumes.

Volume 01 of each series is free for subscribers. The deep dives open with a pass.

Built for three kinds of wine people

I have an exam in eight weeks.

The student

Villages, crus, soils and producers in a form you can revise page by page. Every deep dive ends with a final exam so you can test yourself.

I just want to read the label.

The curious drinker

Start with the free volumes. In 16 pages you will know what the label means, what to pay and what to order with dinner.

We fly to Reims in the spring.

The traveller

Read the region before you land. Know which hill you are standing on, whose cellar you are in and what to ask for.

Pay once. Read forever.

Fair questions

What do I actually get?

Subscribers read Volume 01 of each series free. A pass gives you access to the online reader. Each volume is 16 illustrated pages you can read full size on a phone, tablet or laptop. The Cellar Pass opens all fifteen volumes. The Series Pass opens one region.

Is it a subscription?

No. You pay once and keep access. The Cellar Pass also includes every new volume we release in the 12 months after you buy.

How deep does it go?

Volume 01 of each series assumes you know nothing. Volumes 02 to 05 cover soils, vineyard work, cellar technique, classifications and key producers at the depth serious wine students work at.

Is this an official study guide?

No. Uncorked is an independent 75cl publication and is not affiliated with or endorsed by any wine education or exam body. Use it alongside your course materials, not instead of them.

Which regions are next?

We pick the next series by reader vote. Subscribers get a say.

What do you do with my email?

We use it to send you news and offers from 75cl, the publisher of Uncorked, and for nothing else. We never sell or share it. There are no tracking cookies or advertising pixels on this site, only a cookieless page counter, and every email has a one click unsubscribe. The full detail is in the privacy notice.

Can my shop, school or tour company use the pages?

Yes, with a licence. Email [email protected] and tell us what you have in mind.
