Uncork the story of humanity—one glass at a time.
The Eternal Vine: 8,000 Years of Wine Across the World is a sweeping, narrative-driven history of wine that spans millennia and continents. From the Neolithic wine jars of ancient Georgia to the sun-drenched vineyards of modern-day Napa and Mendoza, this immersive journey reveals how wine has shaped—and been shaped by—human civilization.
Blending archaeology, mythology, trade, religion, and science, this book explores how wine became central to rituals in Egypt, commerce in Phoenicia, symposiums in Greece, and empire-building in Rome. Discover how medieval monks preserved viticulture during the Dark Ages, how Islamic scholars distilled its essence, and how European colonists carried the vine to the Americas, Africa, and Australia. Learn how disasters like the phylloxera blight threatened to end it all—and how wine emerged reborn in the 20th century as a truly global culture.
Written in a vivid, accessible style for general listeners, The Eternal Vine brings to life the people, places, and pivotal moments that made wine not just a drink, but a reflection of humanity itself. Ideal for wine lovers, history buffs, and anyone curious about the world in their glass.
