Wine and the Vine (eBook, PDF)

An Historical Geography of Viticulture and the Wine Trade

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Very few books have products as diverse as those of the grape vine: even fewer have products with such a cultural significance. Wine and the Vine provides an introduction to the historical geography of viticulture and the wine trade from prehistory to the present. It considers wine as both a unique expression of the interaction of people in a particular environment, rich in symbol and meaning, and a commercial product of great economic importance to particular regions.
