Vineyob

Malcom Gluck (author)

A life, like a great wine, is only understood in the tasting. Epic in scope yet intimate in voice, Vineyob unfolds across seventy years and seventy chapters, tracing one man’s journey from wartime London to the threshold of the Olympic age. Along the way come love affairs, fleeting encounters with fame, moments of loss and revelation, and a lifelong devotion to wine as both pleasure and metaphor.

History presses in from the shadow of genocide to financial upheaval while the protagonist seeks coherence in a world that resists it. Rich, reflective, and quietly ambitious, Vineyob is a meditation on time, memory, and the elusive art of understanding a life as it is being lived.

Malcolm Gluck has been writing about wine for 25 years, including a 16-year tenure as the Guardian's wine correspondent. He is the author of 36 books about wine and has been writing novels all his life. His first four fiction titles debut in September 2026.
