Paperback. Condizione: New. A frontline reporter in the First World War, Herbert Warner Allen published this historical survey of wine in literature in 1951. Tracing a line from Homer's Pramnian wine and Horace's Falernian vintage through Chaucer's boozy pilgrims and the monastic vintners of the Middle Ages, he arrives at the 18…th-century epicure Brillat-Savarin and Edgar Allan Poe's deadly Cask of Amontillado.
