In 1940, France fell to the Nazis and almost immediately the German army began a campaign of pillaging one of the assets the French hold most dear: their wine. Like others in the French Resistance, winemakers mobilized to oppose their occupiers, but the tale of their extraordinary efforts has remained largely unknown - until now.

This is the thrilling and harrowing story of the French wine producers who undertook ingenious, daring measures to save their cherished crops and bottles as the Germans closed in on them. Wine and War illuminates a compelling, little-known chapter of history, and stands as a tribute to those extraordinary individuals who waged a battle that, in a very real way, saved the spirit of France.

This tells the story of how wide played a crucial part in World War II as a very enjoyable, and factual, narrative. This is a book I will listen to again soon.

The Kladstrup’s answer the questions about how the families that have produced many of the worlds top wines, including champagne, burgundy, Bordeaux’s, and those in the repeatedly contested Alsace regions have coped and even thrived through wars in that region over the last two centuries.

With a focus on WW2 that looks back knowingly at the previous conflicts you will get to know families, their hardships, their cunning, and ultimately their love of tradition. A good book to read and a nice read.

The research that went into this book is astounding. We will never drink another bottle of French wine without considering the sacrifice and perseverance that is part of its history.

Every wine lover should listen!

I was surprised how interesting the book was. I'm not French so wine is cool and I like it, but it's not a main part of our history here in the US. But, after the detailed explaining of how important wine is to the French; it made it easier to understand its importance during WWII.

The story was amazing, sad, tense and scary and ultimately joyful at the end of the war. I will say that I wept tears of joy during the last chapter. I am so glad that I bought it and listened to it. It made France's side of WWII more clear to me.

The narrator slipped from a French accent to a German accent to an American accent with ease. He told the story well.

Great Story-telling

I liked this book. Listening to it was fun, a nice foray into WWII as I work through some wine books. The stories of people who lived (or didn't) through the experience were funny, touching, and frequently sad.

My only real complaint is the quality of the recording. At times it was as though the reader was speaking through a thin wall. It was worse with low quality head phones but ultimately I had to combat it by downloading an equalizer onto my phone and lowering the 60hz range to 0.

Excellent reading, poor recording

If you enjoy wine and like history, then pour a glass and read a chapter here and there to learn the stories of famous wine regions in France and people involved in wine commerce during the World War II.

A very interesting read

Loved it and will listen to it again. I even recommend it to my wine club friends. Amazing perspective on WWII, and a good French wine history lesson as well.

Any additional comments?

This is an amazing book if you have a true passion for wine. If you do not I could see it being very boring. I have traveled to over a dozen of the world's greatest wine regions and work in the industry so I had a lot of interest and appreciation for where the characters were coming from and their points of view. Have also been to a a fair amount of the locations in the book which makes it more interesting.

Need to be very passionate about wine to enjoy.
