About this listen

From the Bible to Benjamin Franklin, from the cuneiform tablets of the ancient Sumerians to the dinner tables of modern bistros, wines have always been a part of civilization, culture, and history. Every country in the world has a special relationship with wine and takes a unique approach to the making, serving, and enjoying of it. Wine is an expression of the hopes, dreams, and cultures of the people who make it, so what better way to learn about the countries of the world than by learning about their wines?

Grab a glass, and travel around the world with Professor Paul Wagner, a viticulture and winery technology instructor at Napa Valley College.

Starting in the Caucasus Mountains, you’ll get a taste of ancient history and a lesson on the first wines ever, as well as the gods who were believed to bring them to us. From there, you’ll make stops in Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Austria and Hungary, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand, and all the way to modern times in America with a look at California wines and the wines from Latin America.

With each location, you open the door to a better understanding of countries around the world, while gaining a deeper appreciation of the wines they serve.

Great basics coverage with some fun tidbits and facts you might not find in other wine books. Awesome for giving a timeline to wine. Wish Canadian wine was mentioned! Maybe in Pt 2 😜

I loved this book. Paul Wagner is knowledgeable and easy to listen to. You can tell he's passionate about wine! He briefly covers a few countries,what wines they produced, and how they started to make their wines. I wished this book was longer and delved into more different wines and regions. Were Canadian wines mentioned? BC's Okanagan Valley was briefly mentioned as a passing comment. It would've been lovely if Canada was one of the countries he covered.
I wished Audible labelled their chapters better. Like name the country and wine varietals would've been perfect for those who wanted to go back to listen to a specific region or wine.
This was a free listen for me as it's in the "Included" section. But when it expires, I plan on buying this book to listen to it again. Yes, I do recommend this book.

Great introductory!
