Sofia became the stage of a real wine feast on Wednesday, when ancient songs for the enchanting drink took the audience in the Altera art center on a journey through centuries of wine-praising.
Starting with some of the oldest known songs in praise of wine, the concert ended with wine-tasting.
Ancient music ensemble Saltarello also presented the old traditions of the tafelmusik (music for the dining table). The audience also had a chance to learn more about the religious and erotic metaphors that Renaissance authors used to present wine and food.
