Inhaltsangabe

This engaging book traces the history of wine in the Western world with its attendant grandeurs and miseries. Through fascinating anecdotes and unexpected insights Phillips recreates the great eras of wine consumption, with their different values and palates, and conveys the sheer awfulness of much that has been drunk and enjoyed. "Rather than buy an expensive bottle, next time you have a thirst (for knowledge) consider buying this book instead" Colin Price Beech, Literary Review "A serious but unassuming little book - you'll be amused by it's lack of presumption." Iain Finlayson, The Times "...every page contains a nugget or two which astonishes." Andrew Jefford, Evening Standard
