Presentation:

After reading this book, you will no longer drink your wine the way you used to. Beyond the land and the vineyard, the cellar and the bottle, he will have made you discover at the bottom of your glass worlds of which you perhaps did not even suspect the existence. An assembly of eight authors, with eight perspectives and eight approaches, it reveals some of the mysteries of wine. Half of the reflections concern the value of wine, the vine and winegrowers within Judeo-Christianity, on the drunkenness of Noah, on the viti/wine parables of Jesus, on their rereading by the first theologians, on the Eucharist and the Last Supper.
But it had to be balanced. And it is done thanks to Greek mythology with this particular taste of a creative rather than created wine and two grape varieties from new worlds, those of an Islamo-compatible alcohol-free wine and a biodynamic spirituality, linked to the nature and its rhythms. To consume without moderation.
