About this listen

From the Bible to Benjamin Franklin, from the cuneiform tablets of the ancient Sumerians to the dinner tables of modern bistros, wines have always been a part of civilization, culture, and history. Every country in the world has a special relationship with wine and takes a unique approach to the making, serving, and enjoying of it. Wine is an expression of the hopes, dreams, and cultures of the people who make it, so what better way to learn about the countries of the world than by learning about their wines?

Grab a glass, and travel around the world with Professor Paul Wagner, a viticulture and winery technology instructor at Napa Valley College.

Starting in the Caucasus Mountains, you’ll get a taste of ancient history and a lesson on the first wines ever, as well as the gods who were believed to bring them to us. From there, you’ll make stops in Italy, France, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Austria and Hungary, South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand, and all the way to modern times in America with a look at California wines and the wines from Latin America.

With each location, you open the door to a better understanding of countries around the world, while gaining a deeper appreciation of the wines they serve.

Pitched too low

Lazy, uninspired, rehashed, poorly researched and overly simplified often to the point of incorrect, with twee, cringe-worthy chapter music to boot. It's brevity is its only virtue.
