« The many and varied vessels that have been made to contain wine - amphorae, barrels, bottles, carafes, pitchers, flasks, gourds, cups, glasses and chalices - tell us the story of menand of wine and of the way wine is conserved, transported and consumed. In a large sweep, from antiquity to present, in places of religion and at the tavern, at table or when travelling by foot, this remarkable book brings art, civilization together in a new approach to wine.

And, best of all, it can be admired and consulted without moderation ! »
