A survey, from the beginnings (before 5000 BCE) to the 1980's. Johnson is an immensely graceful writer, and provides many enlightening, charming, and amusing details from all eras. His love of wine, and the people who have made it, is evident throughout. (

Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 185732997X, Paperback)

This fascinating history of wine is written with all the characteristic enthusiasm and wit as its famous author, Hugh Johnson. Unlike many comprehensive histories, this book is easily "digestable" and explores the cultural history of wine in enthralling chapters. The colorful prose makes the book a joy to read from cover to cover and a delight to dip into at leisure.
