The team, the family
Peter Thustrup L’Amateur de Vin is a family project. The intention behind this project is to deepen and share our knowledge of wine.
Over the years, Peter’s daughters Capucine and Camille have been inspired by Peter’s passion for wine, and their curiosity blossomed. In April 2020, they joined Peter’s project. As they were beginners, he undertook to explain to them in more detail the world of wine and how the different aspects of wine can be enjoyed, the taste, the history, the convivial side of great wines. Together, they had the idea of making his explanations public on this site for the benefit of all, so they created this space for the curious, wine lovers.
