Product Description

Synopsis
While books about wine and champagne abound, this particular work addresses a somewhat more unusual aspect of the beverage, not as a mood-enhancing tipple, but as a remedy. A recurring theme ever since wine was invented. Dr Tran Ky and Dr F Drouard review the science of this wonderful mechanism, this quasialchemic process, whereby the many and multiple beneficial active molecules of a good champagne interact at the most basic cellular level with our affected organs to remedy the ailments which afflict occasionally all of us. The book includes chapters on: Champagne Past and Present; A brief history of the medical use of champagne; Stimulation of Desire; Obesity and Cellulite; Appetite Loss; Arterial Stenosis; Migraine; Insomnia; and Depression and Anxiety. This publication has received the Gourmand Cookbook Award and will be reviewed in the national and specialist press.

5.0 out of 5 stars Four Stages, 20 Oct 2007
By David W. Bodenberg (Victoria, BC, Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Like a complex wine, this book impressed itself upon me in stages. First there was the visual appeal: the art work glows, the paper is of high quality, and the price is reasonable for a coffee table book in a portable size. Second, I looked again and found that the anecdotes and history were as classic as the artwork. Then I read more carefully and appreciated what I learned about the wines of Champagne, but I took it as whimsy. Finally I settled down to serious reading and discovered things about the winemaking process and human health that were new and intriguing. I mean, who knew that Champagne's lithium content contributed to its antidepressant powers?
The book was prepared lovingly - the authors know their stuff and no doubt drink it too. This is the sort of book one buys as a gift and then goes back and buys for oneself, or vice versa. David W. Bodenberg

5.0 out of 5 stars praise the lord, 9 Oct 2007
Now that's what I call ageing well - champagne is now good for you! (in moderation of course). This book is the best news I have had in a long time.
Definitely worth a read if you're a fan of the bubbly stuff.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hooray!, 9 Oct 2007
So the drunks and the teetotallers have all got it wrong - champagne isn't a drug, it's also one of the most under-rated and classy health tonics on the market. (though the good doctor does say you have to drink it right for its healing powers to work - but I always knew I felt better after a glass and now I know why....
Cheers!!
