La spiritualité du vin The Spirituality of Wine

In this book, Gisela Kreglinger presents a fresh, holistic perspective on the Christian life that recognizes God's presence in all aspects of creation, including vineyards, the work of winemakers, and the enjoyment of well-crafted wine shared with others at a table. Kreglinger begins by delving into the significance of wine in the Bible, in church history, and in the context of the Lord's Supper. These reflections lead to a theology of joy and feasting that embraces the human senses as a means to savor God's goodness. In the second part of the book, Kreglinger intertwines Christian spirituality with the world of wine in innovative ways, addressing topics such as technology in winemaking, the health benefits of wine, alcohol misuse, consumerism, and spiritual well-being. Her insights are enriched by interviews with thirty winemakers from various regions around the globe, as well as her personal background growing up on a family vineyard in Bavaria.
