Description

Over 2100 vibrant photos and energetic text present an exciting array of wine memorabilia. Following a take a look at wine and health, with a toast to readers and a take a look at Bacchanalia, the book takes a four part journey from the vineyard to the wine cellar. Part one looks at more than a few tools used in growing grapes, harvesting, and the production of wine. Tools used by coopers in barrel making, wine sampling and tasting devices, and bottling tools are covered. The next move is “Drinking Wine,” by which many implements for taking out corks, retrieving corks, and preserving wine are revealed. Serving devices include an ordinary batch of cradles and caddies. In part three, promotional items revealed include statues, games, fans, tokens, signs, and place of business accessories. The last part is a take a look at a fabulous choice of wine antiques from a museum in Spain. The final step is into an 1810 wine cellar with a list of “The Necessaries at all times wanted in Wine and Spirit Vaults, and Gentlemen’s Cellars.”
