Synopsis

Wine is a wonderful, lavish, and mysterious gift from God. Gisela Kreglinger, the daughter of a vintner and trained as theologian, invites us to discover wine as part of a more full-bodied Christian spirituality. She shows us how the soulful savoring of wine is God's way of wooing us back into a great love affair. Indeed, Jesus's first miracle was turning water into wine at a wedding. Along with bread, wine is the gift we receive at the table of communion. Through these gifts we experience God's glorious and loving presence among us, feeding and nurturing us in body, soul, and spirit. Wine was never meant just for a small and elite group of well-to-do people but is for us all. Wine can reenchant the world and help us fall in love with it all over again. Come and savor its goodness.

Goodreads review by Anna on January 03, 2021

An excellent little book--more of a gentle splash into the world of wine than anything else. Yet, even in its briefness, it does not shy away from the depth and breath of wine, and the utter mystery of it. A little read, I finished it in a handful of sittings, but the introduction that it gave to me......more
