Description
"And wine that maketh glad the heart of man" Psalms 104:15 Filled with pithy quotations and solid research, this extraordinarily festive book reveals what Western Civilization's greatest masters, including Plato, Shakespeare, Galileo, and the Prophet Isaiah, have to say about the vine's "sweet nectar." While looking up references to wine in the Bible and other sources, the topic simply became a passion for author Ben Gale. Sometimes humorous, sometimes touching, always interesting, each quotation and each historical morsel hits right on. Put into categories such as Love, Spring and Hospitality, The Romance of Wine also provides illustrations and artifacts to give fascinating insights into the role and usage of wine throughout the centuries. The Romance of Wine comes with a hand Hebrew/English glossary. The book itself is stylishly shaped like a wine bottle, and makes an elegant gift for wine lovers, connoisseurs, and just about anyone who has ever enjoyed a glass of wine. "Nothing more excellent or valuable than wine was ever granted by the Gods to man." Plato
