Godforsaken Grapes: A Slightly Tipsy Journey through the World of Strange, Obscure, and Underappreciated Wines [Idioma Inglés] - Hardcover

"Wilson leads us on a genial excursion to some of the world's more esoteric wine neighborhoods" "He will make you curious and thirsty" -- Eric Asimov, The New York Times "Jason Wilson introduces us to an impressive cast of characters from the wide world of wine in Godforsaken Grapes. There are winemakers both celebrated and lesser known, farmers, sommeliers, importers,scientists, merchants, and journalists, from whom Wilson has extracted a great deal of perceptive, thought-provoking, and sometimes amusing material." -- The World of Fine Wine "Part travelogue and part journey to realize his own taste preferences, Wilson offers a spirited, highly personal argument for drinking more adventurously." PUNCH "fascinating new book." Conde Nast Traveler

There are nearly 1,400 known varieties of wine grapes in the world-from auxerrois to zierfandler-but 80% of the wine we drink is made from only 20 grapes. In Godforsaken Grapes, Jason Wilson looks at how that came to be and takes the reader on a journey into what else is out there. From Switzerland, Austria, and Portugal through France and Italy, and back to the United States, Wilson delves into the rare and wonderful. Blending extensive travels in wine-producing regions and conversations with wine evangelists, cutting-edge hipster winemakers, and explorers on an obsessive hunt for the strangest grapes in the world, Godforsaken Grapes is an entertaining love letter to wine..
