What is taste? Journalist Osborne takes off on a personal voyage through a little-known world in pursuit of answers. Weaving together a fantastic cast of eccentrics and obsessives, he shows how mass market tastes have made the elixir that is consumed today entirely different from the wine drunk by previous generations.
