Plot Summary

For thousands of years, wine has been a symbol of Western Civilization. But never has the fight for its soul been as desperate and defining as it is today. Never has so much pride--and money--been at stake. And, never have the battle lines been so clearly drawn between old world and new, between simple peasants and billionaires, and between the local and artisanal styles of wine production and the multinational and mass-produced ones. With wine sold at local supermarkets throughout the world, one can certainly argue that a greater number of consumers have a greater taste for wine than ever before. What that wine tastes like is another matter.
