From Shiraz to Chardonnay, wine has been an essential part of the
Jewish and Christian religious experience for millennia. These
early traditions continue to influence today's robust wine
connoisseurs offering a fascinating history and an assortment of
varieties to discover. Here, wine expert Joel Butler teams up with
biblical historian Randall Heskett for a remarkable adventure that
explores the drinking habits of biblical figures 3,500 to 2,000
years ago. Along the way, they discover the truth behind how wine
infiltrated the biblical world and astounding facts that any wine
lover can take to their next tasting, including: * why the Fertile
Crescent was the birthplace of wine * how the expansion of the
Roman Empire resulted in the first wine connoisseurs * the myths of
the Phoenician, Greek, Roman, and Jewish wine gods * how wine came
to be used in sacrifices and other rites * why Jesus's first
miracle was turning water into wine Divine Vintage also takes a
close look at wines made with ancient techniques, and guides
readers on how they too can experience these ancient wines today.
