About the Book

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.

Table of Contents:
Chapter 1 Themes in the Historical Geography of Viticulture; Chapter 2 Viticulture and Vindication; Chapter 3 The Origins of Viticulture; Chapter 4 Wine in the Graeco-Roman Economy; Chapter 5 Viticulture and Wine in the Early Middle Ages; Chapter 6 Medieval Viticulture and the Wine Trade; Chapter 7 Wine in the Age of Discovery; Chapter 8 Capital in the Sphere of Production; Chapter 9 Crises and Expansion; Chapter 10 The Dominance of Capital in the Twentieth Century; Chapter 11 Conclusion;

About the Author :
Tim Unwin is a Reader in Geography at Royal Holloway, University of London.

Review :
'An organised odyssey through centuries of wine making, illuminated by the author's viticultural excursions and always fired by his enthusiasm for the subject. In short, this book has both depth and breadth and demonstrates enthusiastic scholarship throughout. It will be appreciated by all who claim more than a passing interest in wine.' - Times Higher Education Supplement 'This book is for anyone who wants to know where wine came from and the role it has played throughout history.' - New York Times 'A thoroughgoing examination of the complex interplay of the entire range of environmental and cultural factors that have marked human relationships with wine for at least the past ten thousand years.' - Journal of Wine Research 'A thoroughly fascinating book offering many insights into the importance of wine in our culture and the effect of variables such as religion, government, marketing, economics and even colonialism on the growth of the wine industry ... It will give the wine lover scores of insights into aspects of wine that for decades have simply been taken for granted.' - California Grapevine
