This sweeping journey through wine's remarkable history spans eight millennia, revealing how wine has shaped civilisations, inspired artists, and reflected the ebb and flow of human culture. Through 100 carefully selected bottles, each chapter unlocks a different era, region, or pivotal moment in winemaking—from ancient amphoras to modern cult wines.

Clarke's infectious enthusiasm and deep expertise bring clarity to wine's complex story, making it accessible whether you're a seasoned connoisseur or a curious beginner. It's part history lesson, part travelogue, and part passionate love letter to the world's most storied beverage. An essential read for anyone who has ever wondered what secrets lie in their glass.
