 * <i>Decanter magazine</i> * Reading this beautifully illustrated hardback volume part of the Edible series published by Reaktion Books it is easy to feel a connection between the ancient Greeks with their cult of Dionysus and anyone quaffing a glass of shiraz after a hard days work today . . . The book is packed with fascinating facts, from the role played by the Romans and the Church in propagating winemaking to the aphid plague which meant nearly all of Europes vineyards had to be replanted in the early 20th century . . . Wine: A Global History is bound to nurture a thirst for knowledge in anyone remotely curious about whats in their glass.
