The culture of wine

Associated with religious rituals and daily life, a privilege of the powerful and a solace for the unfortunate, a vehicle for sociability and an object of economic exchange, a stimulus for the senses and a source of health, wine has been an important source of artistic inspiration. Without it, it is difficult to understand the cultural history of humanity, given that it is a gift of nature that speaks directly to the senses, to the heart and to memories. Knowledge of this most civilised of beverages, the fruit of age-old tradition, fosters new experiences in encounters with other people and landscapes and, like art, invites us to enjoy life.
