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.

Who knew wine could be this interesting?
I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this course and not only learn about the world of wine by means of culture, history and geography, but also about what to look out for next time I want to treat myself.

Absolutely Wonderful
This is one of the very best Audible books I have enjoyed. Incredibly Interesting and wonderfully Narrated by Paul Wagner. I was so disappointed when I finished Chapter 12, that I have decided to listen to it all over again!

Perfect wine book
If you’re leas interested in tasting notes and more interested in getting to grips with the history and politics of wine in an accessible way, read this. I’m a qualified wine teacher and host and this book still taught me loads. I think this is the first review I have left on audible as well. I razed through this book in one day. It’s that good. Brilliant engaging narration. Stories told with wit and enthusiasm. Loved it.

Brilliant overview of worldwide wines
Great to listen to without too much detail of grapes or vintages, but enough information to understand why and how wine is produced in about a dozen countries around the globe. Won’t make you a wine buff, but will make you understand, for example, why NZ produces great Sauvignon Blanc and Argentina goes for Malbec
