More on Foodie's new book

[hotwine]

Was going to add this to the previous discussion in the advertizing thread but it's gone.... moved... somewhere. Dang gremlins are busy again!

Foodie, your book strongly suggests that western civilization actually followed the wine trade... versus the old paradigm of the wine trade following the spread of western culture. Very interesting. (And so, even today, the trade in wine is a civilizing influence on the hearts of men.... the WSWA notwithstanding!)

Worthy of another reading....
