In the span of five years, Phillips has written several important books, including 2016\u2019s French Wine: A History (University of California Press). His industriousness has been our gain, as Phillip\u2019s most recent book, Wine: A Social and Cultural History of the Drink That Changed Our Lives, may be his best work yet. In Wine, Phillips, a Professor of History at Carleton University in Ottawa, locates that elusive balance between structure and expressive- ness; while we find surety in the hands of an objective historian, we revel in knowing that Phillips\u2014who also writes for GuildSomm.com\u2014is a great wine enthusiast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wine is organized thematically rather than chronologically. In each of the book\u2019s eight chapters, wine is paired with a broad, topical accompaniment, including reli- gion, war, and crime. This multivalent approach keeps the content from becoming flat and allows Phillips to demonstrate his mastery of the secondary literature. Subtopics within each chapter are dense enough to whet the appetite of the reader (I tallied a list of almost two dozen topics that I want to read more about), but, at the same time, the content never reaches the point of oversaturation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Professor Rod Phillips&#8216; latest book, &#8220;Wine: A Social and Cultural History of the Drink That Changed Our Lives&#8221; has just been reviewed in the American Association of Wine Economists.
