Vino y comida en la Edad Media

This article aims to show how late medieval politeness rules taught how to drink wine in the Middle Ages. To this end, a series of educational texts, both Latin and vernacular, from the 12th to the 15th century, are presented and discussed. In all cases, it can be argued that the rules of table behaviour taught are remarkably homogeneous, which makes it possible to speak of a similar ideal of behaviour in different parts of Western Europe. Under this premise, the most important aspects offered by these texts, related to the consumption of wine, will be described in a descriptive way.
