Wine: A Global History by Marc Millon explores the origins and spread of wine across the world. From its beginnings in Transcaucasia around 8,000 years ago to its current global popularity, Millon delves into the history of wine production, tracing its journey along with classical civilizations throughout Europe. The book follows the path of wine as it was introduced to new regions by traders and travelers, including the Spanish conquistadors who brought European grapes to the New World. It also examines the types of wine developed in each region, describing various grape varieties and the fermentation process. Millon's comprehensive history reveals how wine has become an integral part of many cultures around the world. With its engaging narrative, Wine: A Global History is a fascinating account of the evolution of wine production and its impact on human societies.
