H.J. Hansen leads a wine tasting that travels through European history, with five wines from regions where history has left its mark on the land. Each wine is paired with a story about the events that unfolded nearby, from Roman legionaries on the Mosel to Napoleon's campaigns in Piedmont and the civil war in Lebanon.
Military historian Lars Bangert Struwe, known as a TV expert on security policy and host of the Geopol podcast, shares the drama behind each region and offers insider tips on the best museums nearby for anyone inspired to travel there themselves.
