History(ies) of wine: 33 dates that shaped the vineyards | Eric Glatre

The great story of French wines is full of all these little stories that reflect the diversity and richness of our vineyards.

The vine and wine have left their mark on geography and the economy, archaeology and history, mythology and religions, arts and traditions, law and medicine, landscapes and architecture, techniques and industries.

Not only have they shaped landscapes and promoted trade, but they have also helped to create traditions and eating habits. From the invention of the barrel by the Gauls to the invention of the cork and glass bottle, from the laws of the Burgundians to the official classification of Bordeaux wines in 1855, Éric Glatre has selected for us 33 dates among those that shaped French vineyards as we know them today.

This book is for all readers who love wine and history, they can (and it's highly recommended!) consume it without any other moderation than the one they choose to impose on themselves.
