Sacred Wine: The Holy History and Heritage of Catholic Vintners
- Features 12 wineries in Italy, France, and Spain shaped by faith
- Explores monastic origins from Benedictines to Franciscans
- Shares stories, history, and present-day wine production
- Offers travel details for visiting and tasting
- Reflects on wine as both a cultural and spiritual gift
The story of wine is, in many ways, the story of the Church.
This book tells of twelve remarkable wineries in Italy, France, and Spain—many founded by Benedictines, Cistercians, Carthusians, and Franciscans—whose roots were nourished by prayer and monastic discipline.
Readers are invited to walk the same land, hear the stories passed down in ancient cellars, and visit the chapels where the first vintners once prayed.
Alongside the spiritual and historical heritage, the book introduces the orders and saints who inspired this sacred labor, explores the rules of life that shaped their vineyards, and highlights wines still crafted today.
In every page flows the reminder that wine, blessed by God’s grace, holds the potential to become Life itself—the Blood of Christ, offered for the salvation of the world.
