Details

The history of wine, born in Persia near Shiraz two and a half thousand years ago, thanks to the sunny climate and terracotta amphorae, before being banned by Islam. The author notably mentions the Makaremi family, exiled in France, and in particular Masrour, a doctor of neuroscience, who created a Cyrrhus cuvée near Bergerac, a small corner of Iran in the Southwest.
