EDITORS COMMENTS
This 14th-century print, titled "Nova 2644 f. 87r Tasting Red Wine" takes us back in time to the medieval era when wine tasting was an art form cherished by merchants and vintners alike. The image, found in the Tacuinum Sanitatis Codex Vindobonensis, showcases a scene of utmost elegance and refinement. In this illuminated manuscript, we witness a merchant standing proudly behind his stall as he pours red wine into a beautifully crafted vessel. With great care and precision, he offers a taste to an esteemed guest who eagerly awaits the sensory experience that awaits him. The ambiance is one of sophistication and indulgence as onlookers observe with anticipation. The warm glow from the illumination adds depth to every detail captured on vellum paper. This artwork not only celebrates the pleasure of consuming red wine but also pays homage to the craftsmanship involved in its production. From vineyard to tankard, each step is meticulously executed by skilled vintners who take pride in their craft. As we gaze upon this historic masterpiece preserved within the Osterreichische Nationalbibliothek in Vienna, Austria, we are reminded of how traditions evolve over time yet remain deeply rooted within our culture. This print serves as a timeless reminder that even centuries ago, people appreciated the joy derived from savoring fine wines – an enduring testament to humanity's love affair with alcohol throughout history.
