Wine 90
A Global Anthology of the Most Fascinating Stories Ever BottledBy Chris A. Piazza | Antherra™
Length1h 22m
About this audiobook
You've collected wine knowledge like everyone else—ratings, regions, grape names—only to realize the story behind each bottle is stranger than the myth. Wine 90 asks: where in your life are you mistaking polished narratives for truth, believing the tuxedo instead of seeing the chaos underneath? Ninety real tales from the global wine world invite you to notice how civilization builds identity through accident, scandal, and human grit disguised as luxury.
