Description
The Philosophy of Wine, written by Ruth Ball, traces the captivating history of wine, a beverage that has spanned millennia, continents, and social classes. This compact book explores the production of wine from its beginnings, transitioning from casks to bottles, and from feet to presses, all the way to the evolution of traditional wine regions to emerging exporters.
This work highlights significant historical events related to wine, such as the ingenious strategies of French winemakers to protect their precious vintages during wartime. Furthermore, it delves into the impact of lesser-known figures and surprising facts in the history of wine, from the Greek gods of wine to the monks who created Champagne.
A historical journey through the cultural influences that have shaped our current tastes, this book is indispensable for any wine enthusiast curious about the traditions and evolution of global wine culture.
Ruth Ball, a repeatedly nominated author, is also known for her previous works, Rebellious Spirits and Rough Spirits and High Society (British Library, 2017). She currently works at the East London Liquor Company.
