Rebel School of Wine

Rebel School of Wine is a fresh look at how wine fits into the world. It shows the connections between wine, people, culture, and place in a way that feels alive, modern, and clear. You learn without trying and you smile while you do it.

Tyler Balliet writes with the energy of someone who wants you to understand the world, not memorize it. She moves through history, science, economics, and culture of wine, then ties it all back to the glass in front of you. Amber Day’s more than 450 illustrations and Morgan First’s art direction turn every chapter into a visual experience.

The only wine book nominated for a James Beard Award in 2025, Rebel School of Wine is critically acclaimed but so incredibly fun to read. It’s beautiful, it’s smart, and it belongs on the coffee table of anyone who wants wine to feel welcoming, cultural, and part of real life.
