In the beginning: historical wines, biblical beverages. The origins of wine: how wine infiltrated the biblical world -- From Mesopotamia to Israel: Abraham, wine, salt, and sex -- Joseph and the cupbearer -- Wine under siege: biblical wars on wine -- How the West was wined -- The Roman wine empire and the New Testament -- The modern divine wine trail. Turkey -- Lebanon -- Jordan and notes on Egypt -- Israel -- Greece -- Seriously, what wine would Jesus drink? (or, Guess who's coming to dinner?).
