This is an amiable tour of wine's history, detailing the profound effect it has had on society and culture through the ages. From its origins in ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia to the New World wine industry today, John Varriano examines how wine is made, and how it has been used in rituals and revelries throughout history. He investigates wine's transformative effects on body and mind in art, literature and science around the world, from the mosaics of ancient Rome to the poetry of Emily Dickinson and the paintings of Caravaggio, Bosch and Manet. A fascinating, companiable exploration, Wine: A Cultural History will delight all those who favour a glass or two of an evening, as well as those who are interested in the rich history of human creativity and consumption.

Review: "Not only is the author's scholarship impeccable and discriminating, but his style and wit are such that the reader experiences a sensation of continuous enlightenment and enjoyment throughout."--Robert Bagg, University of Massachusetts "Varriano offers a chatty, charming, and intelligent tale of wine from Neolithic times to the present. It is a delightful journey. . . . The book as a whole is fluent, fun, and filled with delightful scraps of history, literature, religion, and art."--Kenneth Bendiner, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee "Offers a great deal of fascinating analysis that is precise, revealing, and engaging. Anyone interested in the history of Ancient Greek/Roman art or Western European painting should find it fascinating to discover exactly which role the depiction of wine played in them."-- "Gastronomica" "Packed with interesting anecdotes, it's beautifully illustrated and exhaustively researched, and romps along at a great pace."-- "Decanter" "Those who have overindulged in the subject might like instead to read about the culture of the vine. Drawing on poetry, art, and history, Varriano presses out some of the infinitely rich past of the fermented grape."-- "I (Independent mini version)" "Varriano's beautifully illustrated and detailed study shows how wine has inspired us in art, literature, and religion. It is the perfect drinking companion."-- "Guardian"
