The new book *Naturligt Vin*, which gives more of a dry schoolbook vibe than that of a fascinating plunge into the world of natural wine, didn’t have me at ‘hello’. But after scanning the introductory text on the book’s back, phrases such as ‘punk scene of viticulture’ and ‘the most exciting new movement in the wine world’ caught my attention.

A Swedish book on natural wine, a movement born out of the distaste for the addition of chemicals in wines, as well as a bit of a rebellious ‘sod off” to the staleness of a conservative industry, is long overdue. But in *Naturligt Vin*, by publishing house Natur & Kultur, we tag along with wine merchant Emil Broomé and journalist Emil Arvidson as they travel through France, visiting a select number of natural wineries and their colourful custodians.

Not sure of what to expect from natural wine, apart from the very pleasant benefit of not getting such a massive hangover due to the absence of chemicals? We asked wine merchant and author Emil Broomé to list his five favourite Stockholm addresses for a tall glass of *vin naturel.*
