The History and Mystery of Wine February 20, 2009

He's back! Anyone who has attended one of Elliot Engel's humorous lectures won't want to miss this one. Dr. Engel traces the phenomenal ancient origins of wine and continues the story through the wide and often wild popularity of wine today. Special attention is given to the competing drinks which almost destroyed wine's popularity in the 17th-century and to the unexpected consequences of the Muslim prohibition of all spirits beginning in 700 AD.
