The history of wine is the history of civilisation. It is the
religious drink par excellence. In Greek mythology, references to
wine abound. In the Bible, after the Flood, Noah plants a vineyard.
In the Middle Ages, it was in the monasteries and churches that the
syrupy drink of antiquity, unpalatable if not diluted, was
transformed into the wine we know today. Wine expert Benoist Simmat
and artist Daniel Casanave trace the story of wine from its origins
in the Mediterranean to the globalised industry of the 21st
century. Taking in the innovations that have punctuated wine’s
long history, from oak barrel aging to the invention of the bottle,
Wine: A Graphic History will leave readers with a fresh view of our
own drinking culture.
