It was published in part because of concerns that anti-alcohol laws were preventing younger French children from learning about their cultural heritage.
With the help of illustrations it explains the cycle of vine-growing and the cultural role that wine plays in France, and tells the story of wine from the Romans to the present day. The book was launched this week at Chateau Fonroque in Saint Emilion.
