The Wine-Dark Sea...

I was alone, for Zeus had struck my ship
with his bright lightning bolt and shattered it,
right in the middle of the wine-dark sea.

I'm sure the ideal Christmas gift would be a trip to see the actual wine-dark sea, but if that's not possible and someone on your Christmas list enjoys settling into an armchair with the Odyssey and a glass of wine, then perhaps you should look at a review of this year's books on wine.
