Overview

Wine has been made by the world's great cultures for over 8,000 years and holds a place of honor throughout history. It is celebrated in religious ceremonies and coronations, serves as witness to the blessing of marriages and baptisms. It's tipped to acknowledge heads of state, smashed to launch ships both large and small, and plays an unforgettable role in cooking. It has inspired poets to dream, clerics to sermonize, and lovers to swoon. Through all time, words have been used to tell the story of wine, to commit it to our collective memory, and to record what it means to our world. These words come from statesmen, kings, and presidents, from actors, poets, and playwrights, and from people of lesser distinction who simply had just the right way to capture the spirit of wine and communicate it to others. Wine Trivia...In So Many Words embraces the best of these phrases and trivia on wine.
