Combining extensive travels with conversations with wine evangelists, cutting-edge hipster winemakers and explorers, a tour through the world of rare and obscure wine grapes—taking readers from Switzerland, Austria and Portugal through France and Italy and back to the U.S.—looks at why we drink what we drink and what we are missing. 20,000 first printing.

There are nearly 1,400 known varieties of wine grapes in the world—from altesse to zierfandler—but 80 percent of the wine we drink is made from only 20 grapes. In Godforsaken Grapes, Jason Wilson looks at how that came to be and embarks on a journey to discover what we miss.
 
Stemming from his own growing obsession, Wilson moves far beyond the “noble grapes,” hunting down obscure and underappreciated wines from Switzerland, Austria, Portugal, France, Italy, the United States, and beyond. In the process, he looks at why these wines fell out of favor (or never gained it in the first place), what it means to be obscure, and how geopolitics, economics, and fashion have changed what we drink. A combination of travel memoir and epicurean adventure, Godforsaken Grapes is an entertaining love letter to wine.

Arvustused

Wilson leads us on a genial excursion to some of the worlds 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.
