Godforsaken Grapes: A Slightly Tipsy Journey through the World of Strange, Obscure, and Underappreciated Wine

by Jason Wilson Author

80% of the wine we drink is made from only 20 different varieties of grapes, even though there are nearly 1,400 known varieties of wine grapes available. This book offers an exploration of obscure and rare grapes, and covers why we keep using the same few types and what we're missing out on by not exploring more varieties. This book combines travel memoir, viticultural investigation, and clear reporting on how politics, economics, and even fashion change what we drink.
