Wine
Mark Tully uncorks a bottle with the Bishop of Arundel and Brighton to consider the symbolism of wine, the dangers of wine snobbery and the debt wine-lovers owe to medieval monks.
Mark Tully uncorks a bottle with the Bishop of Arundel and Brighton to consider the symbolism of wine, the dangers of wine snobbery and the debt wine-lovers owe to medieval monks.
From Bacchus and ancient Rome to modern philosophers, and from Gerard Manley Hopkins to Roald Dahl, Mark draws together thoughts on the delights, pitfalls and significance of the fermented grape. He is invited to discover the joy of the unexpected in a bottle of wine, despite being a confirmed beer drinker, and is left to ponder the opinion of the Sufi poet Hafiz that, "The mystery of time can only be found in a glass of wine".
