Oz Clarke takes a look at more than 100 bottles that mark an evolution in the story of wine, capturing the innovations and discoveries that have had the biggest impact along the way. Oz explores the flavours, the labels, the vineyards and the people who have influenced wine through the centuries and discusses the impact of changing climate on winemaking around the world. These stories are told to make wine more alive, to bring wine's wonders closer to you, and also to make you think, to ask you to ponder wine's past – where it comes from; wine's present – where it is now; and wine's future – where it is going. Oz shares over a hundred stories, and woven into these tales are probably a hundred more about the rich history of ‘bottled poetry’.
