Join Village Books for a wine tasting evening with Oz Clarke, one of the world’s leading wine experts. There will be four wines to taste: a sparkling wine, two white wines, and one red wine, all chosen by Oz.
Revised and updated by Oz, the latest edition of Oz Clarke’s History of Wine brings the story of wine to the present day.
Join Oz on a journey through the ages as he explores the places, the people and the bottles that have shaped the captivating history of wine.
Oz explores the flavours, the labels, the vineyards and the people who have influenced wine through the centuries from the medieval Cistercian monks of Burgundy, to scientists like Pasteur and Peynaud, who improved key technical aspects of winemaking and 20th-century giants like Robert Mondavi and Robert Parker Jr. He also writes about famous vintages and discusses the impact of changing climate on winemaking around the world.
