Vinifera

Published for the first time in October 1987, Vinifera is the Club's magazine. Membership of the Club entitles you to receive free of charge each issue of Vinifera. Since its beginnings, Vinifera has continued to grow in audience and reputation: the issues have become collectors' items.

Présentation of the journal

Independent on advertisers, Vinifera is intended to be an information magazine, not a sales medium. The wines and producers featured in its columns are the object of a free, qualitative choice, and not linked to commercial impetuses.

Vinifera is a wine and gastronomy information magazine published by CAVE SA in Gland. For the moment, it is published every six months, but will soon be published quarterly. The articles published in Vinifera are articulated on several levels:

• the history and culture of wine
• presentation of owners and winemakers
• The presentation of the mills
• Gastronomy
• prestigious tastings
• The precision and rigour of the comments, the very complete approach proposed, combined with a quality of stylistic expression rare in the world of wine, have earned Vinifera magazine a special place in the world of wine today.

Editor-in-chief: Jacques Perrin

Some judgements on Vinifera

"Without doubt the most rigorous Swiss journalist and the one most committed to perfection in his generation, Jacques Perrin directs the excellent magazine Vinifera, where wines from all over the world are treated with the respect that any product of high tradition deserves." La Revue du Vin de France, November 1994

"Jacques Perrin is one of the most sophisticated – and useful – French-speaking wine critics. His articles and those of his contributors are extraordinarily well done, offering an ideal balance of rigorous technical information, original tasting notes and producer addresses." Stephen Tanzer, The International Wine Cellar, New-York
