Te enseñaré los secretos del universo en el fondo de una copa de vino...
Víctor Morell, un sumiller en horas bajas, recibe de un emisario anónimo una insólita misión: encontrar una botella única, conocida entre los iniciados como el vino del alquimista. Desaparecida hace casi dos siglos, los escritos de la época aseguran que este vino otorga a quien lo bebe un conocimiento existencial inédito para la humanidad.

Pero pronto se dará cuenta de que no es el único que persigue la reliquia. Mientras compite con Sofía, una neuropsiquiatra convencida de que las propiedades del vino alteran la consciencia de quien lo bebe, poderosas farmacéuticas, emporios empresariales y organizaciones esotéricas les pisan los talones en una carrera sin cuartel por hacerse con ella. Pero ¿quién de todos ellos conseguirá desentrañar los secretos del vino del alquimista? ¿Y qué precio tendrá que pagar por ello?
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
With the world of enology as its backdrop, Pepe Müller’s debut novel is an addictive historical thriller à la Dan Brown. A fast-paced adventure replete with enigmas, surprises and action.
I’ll teach you the secrets of the universe contained in a glass of wine…
Víctor Morell, a bored sommelier, receives an unusual request from an anonymous messenger: track down a unique bottle known among connoisseurs as the alchemist’s wine. Missing for almost two centuries, it is said to impart to the drinker secrets of existential importance for humanity. Víctor embarks on an uncertain and perilous journey that will take him from the vineyards of Priorat in Spain to remotest Turkestan, with stops in Paris, Saint Petersburg and the Tuscan hills.
Soon enough, Víctor realizes that he isn’t the only one after the precious bottle. Hot on his heels is Sofía, a neuropsychiatrist convinced that the wine has consciousness-altering properties. Nor has it escaped the notice of powerful pharmaceutical companies, corporate interests and organizations with more esoteric aims, all engaged in a ruthless race to get to it first. Who among them will discover the secrets of the alchemist’s wine? And at what price?
