Wine and War

This book by Don and Petie Kladstrup was genuinely recommended once in the episodes we index, on Joe Rogan. The people who vouched for it on air: Chris Robinson. It comes up in conversations about consciousness, psychedelics. Every quote below is verbatim, attributed, and linked to the exact second it was said. Sourced expert opinion, not medical advice.

In 1940, France fell to the Nazis, and the German army almost immediately began a campaign of pillaging one of the assets the French hold most dear: their wine. Like others in the French Resistance, wine makers mobilized to oppose their occupiers, but the tale of their heroism has remained largely unknown -- until now. Wine and War tells the alternately thrilling and harrowing story of the French wine producers who undertook ingenious and often daring measures to save their finest and most precious crops and bottles as the Germans closed in on them.

• “I just read another amazing book called wine and War and it's a history of like the wine business during the Nazi occupation during World War II”

  Why it counts as a recommendation: “another amazing book; it's a great great book cuz it's so important over there”
