THE HISTORY OF WINE

Rights Holder : Félin
Original Language: French

The history of French wine overflows with these stories that reflect the diversity and richness of French vineyards.

From the invention of the barrel by the Gauls to that of the cork and the glass bottle to the Bordeaux Wine Official Classification of 1855, Éric Glatre has made a selection of 33 dates in history that have shaped French vineyards as we have come to know them today.

The grapevine and wine have made their marks on geography and the economy, archeology and history, mythology and religions, arts and culture, law and medicine, the landscape and architecture, industry and technology. Not only did they shape the landscape and stimulate the economy but they also contributed to creating culinary traditions and customs.

This is a book for readers who love both wine and history.

Éric Glatre is an historian and writer from the Champagne region. He has written over 50 works in the field of wine and food and is a member of the international network Chaire UNESCO, Wine and Culture.
