This six-part lecture series explores the relationship between wine and the history of warfare, empire, and global (but mostly Western) civilization. Far from being a mere luxury, wine has shaped economies, sustained armies, symbolized power, and traveled alongside conquest and trade for over 6,000 years. From the ancient vineyards of the Near East to the global wine markets of today, this series reveals how conflict, diplomacy, and culture have influenced what we drink—and why it matters.
Designed for an engaged adult audience, each lecture blends historical narrative with vivid visual material and accessible storytelling. The series is ideal for lifelong learners interested in history, culture, food and drink, and global connections across time.
