Tronches de Vin, Wine Mugs, French Anti Wine Guide to Indie Winemakers

January 31, 2013 by serge the concierge

Tronches is not quite French slang, more a colloquial word for face. It translate to 'mug' as in mugshot.

When i first saw Tronches de Vin mentionned, I thought it would feature portraits of winemakers.

They call it an 'anti wine guide'.

It will be published in France in March 2013.
