In 2011 when Alice Feiring first arrived in Georgia, she felt as if shed emerged from the magic wardrobe into a world filled with mythical characters making exotic and delicious wine with the lowtech methods of centuries past. She was smitten, and she wasnt alone. This country on the Black Sea has an unusual effect on people; the most passionate rip off their clothes and drink wines out of horns while the coldhearted well up with tears and make emotional toasts. Visiting winemakers fall under Georgias spell and bring home qvevris (clay fermentation vessels) while rethinking their own techniques.But, as in any good fairy tale, Feiring sensed that danger rode shotgun with the magic. With acclaim and growing international interest come threats in the guise of new wine consultants aimed at making wines more commercial. So Feiring fought back in the only way she knew how: by celebrating Georgia and the men and women who make the wines she loves most, those made naturally with organic viticulture, minimal intervention, and no additives.From Tbilisi to Batumi, Feiring meets winemakers, bishops, farmers, artists, and silk spinners. She feasts, toasts, and collects recipes. She encounters the thriving qvevri craftspeople of the countryside, wild grape hunters, and even Stalins last winemaker while plumbing the depths of this tiny countrys love for its wines.For the Love of Wine is Feirings emotional tale of a remarkable country and people who have survived religious wars and Soviet occupation yet managed always to keep hold of their precious wine traditions. Embedded in the narrative is the hope that Georgia has the temerity to confront its latest threatmodernization.
