His classic <strong><em>The Story of Wine<\/em><\/strong> is his most enthralling and enduring work, winner of every wine award in the UK and USA. It tells with wit, scholarship and humor how wine became the global phenomenon it is today, varying from mass-produced plonk to rare bottles fetching many thousands. It ranges from Noah to Napa, Pompeii to Prohibition to Pomerol, gripping, anecdotal, personal, controversial and fun. This new edition includes Hugh&rsquo;s view on the changes wine has seen in the past 30 years.<\/p>\n<p>In his Foreword the celebrated historian Andrew Roberts writes: <em>&#8220;The genius of The Story of Wine derives from the fact that it is emphatically not a dry-as-dust academic history &ndash; there are dozens of those &ndash; but an adventure story, full of mysteries, art and culture.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The definitive portrait of wine, a cultural bedrock of Western civilization for millenia, by the undisputed master of the subject.<\/p>\n<p>Foreword, <\/p>\n<p>Part One &#8211; Early wine history to Rome, <\/p>\n<p>Part Two &#8211; Charlemagne to Glassmaking technology, <\/p>\n<p>Part Three &#8211; Bordeaux Reborn to Georgian England, <\/p>\n<p>Part Four &#8211; Napoleon to 19th Century South America, <\/p>\n<p>Part Five &#8211; 20th Century and beyond\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":29397,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":""},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[5711],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-29396","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-food-drink","7":"author-by-author-hugh-johnson","8":"publisher-academie-du-vin-library-ltd","10":"first","11":"instock","12":"shipping-taxable","13":"purchasable","14":"product-type-simple"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 -
