Description

Explore four millennia of wine history through its containers in this richly detailed account by Henry H. Work, a cooper with extensive experience in California's Napa Valley. The Shape of Wine traces the evolution of wine packaging across three strikingly different vessel types: amphorae, wooden barrels, and glass bottles. This scholarly work from Routledge's Gastronomy, Food and Drink series examines how containers, vessels, and stoppers have shaped the storage, aging, and transportation of grape wine throughout history. Work's intimate knowledge of barrel-making and wine production brings vivid authenticity to this exploration of how packaging has enhanced wine's seductiveness and influenced its cultural significance. Perfect for wine enthusiasts, historians, and those interested in the intersection of gastronomy and material culture.

Key Features

The Shape of Wine covers 4,000 years of wine container history from ancient amphorae to modern glass bottles.

Author Henry H. Work combines professional experience as a cooper with decades of wine industry knowledge from Napa Valley.

This Routledge Studies volume explores the evolution of vessels, stoppers, and storage methods across three primary container types.

The book examines how wine packaging has influenced aging, transport, and the sensory experience of grape wine.

Part of Routledge's established Gastronomy, Food and Drink series for serious food and beverage history scholars.
