 Popular wine YouTuber Kim Wook-sung's new book 'Wine Time'..the best textbook from wine lovers to beginners



Author Kim Wook-sung, a popular wine YouTuber and wine humanities instructor, has released his first book 'Wine's Time' based on his 20 years of accumulated knowledge and experience. At first, Kim Wook-sung, an ordinary office worker and wine lover, gained expertise through a master's course in wine management jointly run by the International Wine Organization OIV and Montpellier Supagro Graduate School of Agriculture, and gained solid field experience by visiting 400 wineries in 27 countries around the world.

The most important moment in our lives is when we meet someone. Love begins with accidental encounters, and life changes when you meet a noble. The moment you meet wine in your life is also important. This is because wine opens up another new world and, in addition to the joy of drinking, broadens the range of exchanges with people you share and deepens your humanities literacy.

The author decided to name the book 'Wine Time' because the wine he met on his life journey made his life more enjoyable and valuable. Drinking wine is like a trip. Savoring the taste and aroma of wine, we travel to the place and time where the wine was made. The wine bottle is marked with the area of production and the year. Some wines even give the name of the vineyard and the name of the brewer, and this is why wine makes it possible to travel full of storytelling.



In order to fully enjoy wine, the art of wine is necessary. Beyond the hedonistic purpose of taste and aroma, our lives can become more shiny and prosperous by satisfying intellectual curiosity through wine and expanding humanities horizons.

After a glass of wine, we can go on a long journey to where and when the wine was made, but the journey requires skill. This book is designed to master the very art of travel.



While working as a wine YouTuber, columnist, and wine instructor, the author published this book after listening to the numerous questions and questions posed by wine lovers. We went on a wine trip together and wrote a book in a way that unraveled like a story. Wine lovers dream of traveling and like to hear the story behind a bottle of wine. Wine is a treasure trove of endless stories.

The basic skill required for travel is to have basic knowledge of wine. The next step is to grasp more in-depth information about the destination, through which you learn the skills necessary to enjoy travel. The next step will be to discover a new wine with a story, find a humanities context, make your life more prosperous, and enjoy it.



The author collected the wine columns and writings he had been writing for the past 20 years and put them in a book. The contents are organized so that you can understand the core of wine and enjoy wine completely. I wrote this book with the passion of making compasses that will help wine-minded people travel to the unknown world of wine.
