This fully revised and updated edition brings the rich history of winemaking to the present day, making it the perfect gift for any wine lover. Winemaking, as old as civilization itself, has evolved from its origins in ancient Mesopotamia to a global industry, intertwined with major social, cultural, religious, and economic changes. Oz Clarke examines over 100 bottles that signify key moments in the story of wine, highlighting innovations and discoveries that have shaped its journey. He explores the flavors, labels, vineyards, and influential figures from history, including medieval Cistercian monks of Burgundy and scientists like Pasteur and Peynaud, who enhanced winemaking techniques. Clarke discusses notable vintages, from the 1727 Rudesheimer Apostelwein to the first Montana Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc in 1979, as well as today's cult wines from Bordeaux and California. He also addresses the impact of climate change on winemaking globally. These narratives aim to make wine more relatable, encouraging readers to reflect on its past, present, and future. From the birth of wine culture in ancient Georgia around 6000 BC to the trends of today, Oz shares over a hundred stories, each revealing the rich tapestry of 'bottled poetry.'
