A combination of travel memoir and epicurean adventure, Godforsaken Grapes is an entertaining love letter to wine. "Will make you curious and thirsty." (Eric Asimov, New York Times)

There are nearly 1,400 known varieties of wine grapes in the world—from altesse to zierfandler—but 80 percent of the wine we drink is made from only 20 grapes. In Godforsaken Grapes, award-winning travel writer Jason Wilson looks at how that came to be and embarks on a journey to discover what we miss.
