From its earliest iterations in earthenware jars all the way to the bottles we find lining supermarket shelves today, it has evolved from its use in religious rites along with culture, diet and society as a whole. And with literally billions of litres drank worldwide, our love of fermented grape juice shows no signs of waning. \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis little book gets to the heart of our love affair with wine. After taking a tour through a history of its evolution through the centuries, it delves into the nitty-gritty of production before we taste the fruits of all that labour - in moderation of course - and learn all about drinking (and hopefully appreciating) this most esteemed of beverages. As well as a whole caseload of quaffable facts and famous sayings about the nectar of the gods, there is also a glossary of useful wine terminology for the aspiring connoisseur, just in case you need a handy reminder during a particularly arduous tasting session... \n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\"A bottle of wine contains more philosophy than all the books in the world.\"\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eLouis Pasteur\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\"My only regret in life is that I didn't drink more wine.\"\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eErnest Hemingway\u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eVitis vinifera is the principal wine-producing plant, and the majority of the world's wine comes from varieties of this species, mostly because of its high sugar content.\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContributor Bio:\u003c\/strong\u003eOh\u003cbr\u003e\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe \n\u003cb\u003eOH \u003c\/b\u003elist features innovative, quirky books that reflect style, popular culture and current trends.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Oh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePub Date:\u003c\/b\u003e 2023-11-14\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC:\u003c\/b\u003e Cooking|Beverages|Alcoholic - Wine|History|Social History|Cooking|History\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.5 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781800695412\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eASIN:\u003c\/b\u003e -\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSKU:\u003c\/b\u003e SP-9781800695412\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oh","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51154286280982,"sku":"SP-9781800695412","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0857\/9910\/8886\/files\/9781800695412_spiral.png?v=1774940573","url":"https:\/\/lusper.myshopify.com\/products\/the-little-book-of-wine-in-vino-veritas","provider":"Lusperbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
