In the eighteenth century, Ireland's elite could choose from a wide
range of wines, but their favourite was claret - the red wine of
Bordeaux. Whereas Britain's wine drinkers turned to port in this
period, and America's elite filled their glasses with Madeira, in
Ireland, claret flowed in the social world of the privileged
classes. This book looks back to earliest times to trace the story
of how and why a French wine became what Jonathan Swift fondly
called "Irish wine". Exploring the social life of claret in
Georgian Ireland through a range of period sources reveals the
social meanings attached to this wine and expands our knowledge of
Ireland's fascinating food history.
