Why is wine considered more sophisticated even though the
production of beer is much more technologically complex? Why is
wine touted for its health benefits when beer has more nutrition
value? Why does wine conjure up images of staid dinner parties
while beer denotes screaming young partiers? Charles Bamforth
explores several paradoxes involving beer and wine, paying special
attention to the culture surrounding each. He argues that beer can
be just as grown-up and worldly as wine and be part of a healthy,
mature lifestyle. Both beer and wine have histories spanning
thousands of years. This is the first book to compare them from the
perspectives of history, technology, the market for each, and the
effect that they have on human health and nutrition.
