The World’s First True Vinosopher

Corné van Nijhuis is a passionate Dutch-based wine professional, esotericist, writer, and book author. For many years, he has been captivated by the often mystical world of wine. With a deep passion for metaphysics and philosophy, he found a unique way to merge these two interests, giving rise to the concept of “Vino-sophy.” This fusion goes beyond the simple enjoyment of fine wine, delving into the profound contemplation of its essence — how it reflects the world we inhabit and what it reveals about our humanity. In this spirit, Corné van Nijhuis proudly embraces the self-proclaimed title of the “world’s first true Vinosopher.” In that sense Corné is a visionary who bridges the world of wine with deep philosophical inquiry. Blending modern scientific insights with ancient wisdom, Corné approaches wine not just as a beverage but as a profound metaphor for life and existence itself. His unique ‘vinosophical’ perspective sees wine as a lens through which we can explore the fundamental essence of the physical universe and the sentient life within it. Corné is also the founder of ‘The VinoSophers’, an agency engaged in the constantly evolving field of wine. Its services consist particularly of writing, judging and educating. He is also the initiator and driving force behind the LinkedIn platform ”The VinoSophers”, a community where like-minded people exchange thoughts about wine and its metaphysical reflections. Together with his wife Corné van Nijhuis lives near Amsterdam, the Netherlands – a homebase from where they happily explore the rest of our beautiful world.

'The VinoSophers' LinkedIn community

Corné van Nijhuis is the founder and driving force behind the LinkedIn platform “The VinoSophers“, a community where like-minded individuals share thoughts on wine and its metaphysical dimensions. The platform features a range of content, including in-depth articles, opinion polls, inspiring quotes, poems, and images — all designed to encourage meaningful interaction and deepen the understanding of this unique perspective. The choice of LinkedIn as a platform offers an ideal networking environment for wine professionals, experts, and those interested in philosophy and worldviews. Over time, The VinoSophers has evolved into an active community where members continue to expand and enrich the vinosophical perspective. Ultimately, the goal is to inspire others to explore the mystery of existence through the lens of wine.

A perspective on wine that makes you better understand reality

“Vinosophy. Cracking the Myths about Wine” is a book which Corné van Nijhuis has written as a series of essays. The old French word “essai” recalls that an essay is a personal attempt to understand something. The essays in Vinosophy may appear to focus on wine at first glance, but upon closer examination, they delve into the profound mysteries of existence in its entirety. Questions like “Does wine have a soul?” or “Is there truth in wine?” are answered in a more philosophical way and from a more metaphysical point of view. This results in rather unorthodox perspectives and an unconventional understanding of reality.

In his new book, Vinosophy. “Cracking the Myths about Wine”, Corné invites readers on a journey that challenges common assumptions about wine, life and the world around us. He draws on insights from esoteric traditions, encouraging readers to look beyond the physical and savor the metaphysical. Through an insightful and intriguing approach, Corné unveils wine as an allegory for everything we experience, opening a path to greater understanding of reality and spiritual discovery. So whether you are a wine enthusiast, a more philosophical seeker, or simply curious about life’s deeper questions, Corné’s work inspires you to see wine – and the world itself – in a new light.

Corné invites his readers to look beyond the surface of wine, challenging them to question their perceptions and explore deeper truths. By linking wine to life’s mysteries, he seeks to inspire a greater appreciation for both. His ultimate goal is to encourage a quest for ancient wisdom and a deeper understanding of existence.

The book is worldwide available on Amazon. Mostly also  on national accounts but always on the international website www.amazon.com/vinosophy
