A companion volume to The Philosophy of . . . Beards and Coffee,
this witty history of wine - its cultivation and enjoyment - sheds
light on the rich traditions of wine from around the world. An apt
gift for oenophiles everywhere, it includes chapters on the
development of wine production, from the use of casks to bottles to
the switch from feet to presses, as well as tracing the global
shift of wine production from traditional wine-producing regions to
emerging wine exporters. With a selective focus on unexpected facts
and lesser-known characters connected with wine, from the Greek
gods of wine to the monks who created Champagne and the ingenious
ways French winemakers protected priceless vintages during wartime,
this gift edition explores the historical influences that have
shaped our drinking taste.
