Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books
about the hidden lives of ordinary things. While wine drunk
millennia ago was the humble beverage of the people, today the
drink is inextricable with power, sophistication, and often wealth.
Bottles sell for half a million dollars. Point systems tell us
which wines are considered the best. Wine professionals give us the
language to describe what we taste. Agricultural product and
cultural commodity, drink of ritual and drink of addiction,
purveyor of pleasure, pain, and memory - wine has never been
contained in a single glass. Drawing from science, religion,
literature, and memoir, Wine meditates on the power structures
bound up with making and drinking this ancient, intoxicating
beverage. Object Lessons is published in partnership with an essay
series in The Atlantic.
