56 countries, 140 maps, 8,000 years of history From the shores of the Black Sea to the Andes, wine culture has rolled its barrel following Man and his dreams. How did a Pyrenean grape end up in Uruguay? By what did the vine reach Japan mean?

This book goes back in time to trace the conquest of grapes by stopping at each wine country, from the oldest to the most recent, to talk about yesterday and today, waiting for tomorrow.
