Spirituality of Wine (English Edition) by Gisela H. Kreglinger

In Spirituality of Wine, , Gisela H. Kreglinger proposes a novel approach deeply rooted in the Christian tradition, where the wine is not just a drink or a cultural product, but a true pathway to the divine.

The author begins with an exploration of the role of the wine in the Bible, liturgical uses in the history of the Church, and of its symbolic role in the Lord's Supper. Through these reflections, she constructs a Theology of joy and feasting, in which the human senses are celebrated as gifts allowing one to "taste" the goodness of God.

In the second part of the book, Kreglinger establishes a Dialogue between Christian spirituality and the contemporary wine world. It specifically addresses:

• The issues of the Technology in winemaking

• The Benefits of wine on health

• The alcoholism issue and excesses

• The abuses of consumerism

• The importance of care of the soul through the act of drinking

His remarks are enriched by interviews with about thirty winemakers from around the world and fed by its Personal experience within a Bavarian family estate.

With a clear and accessible style, Gisela H. Kreglinger offers a perspective profoundly human and embodied on the wine, as an expression of the divine creation and Central element of conviviality and of the spiritual sharing.

This book is intended for both wine enthusiasts than to the theologians, to the believers in search of meaning only to curious eager to explore the links between faith and culture.
