Who? Paul Lukacs
What? At times, we can get a little bogged down with what a wine tastes like and how it smells. What we’ve neglected, often, is to find out a wine’s story. Paul Lukacs’ Inventing Wine is not just telling the story of one wine but all wines. It takes the reader through a journey of wine from history to today – a must if you want to know about more than just wine.
