When
ADFAS lectures on arts and culture happen nine times a year - about once a month and always on a Monday evening.
Bottoms Up! A history of wine, its rituals and its vessels by Antiques Roadshow glass expert Andy McConnell
Wine has been responsible for wars and riots, has helped broker peace and served as an aphrodisiac. It has been personified in the form of Gods and essential to civilised entertaining and dining rituals. Bottom’s Up! traces the story of wine throughout the ages while examining the extraordinary art and artefacts created to enhance its pleasure.
The lecture will be followed by a reception (with wine) and a chance to meet the speaker.
