About the Book

A fascinating history of Australian wine, spanning the planting of the first vine to the export boom of the 1990s. John Beeston charts the growth, decline and rebirth of the major winegrowing areas - covering the large companies as well as the smaller concerns - and trends in consumption. He profiles winemakers of today and yesterday, including the early visionaries who saw wine as a civilising agent in the new colonies and a product which could boost their struggling economies, the patriarchs of the wine families of South Australia, and the new breed of boutique winemakers. A very useful up-to-date listing of current winemakers, giving their address details, prize-winning wines, best recent vintages and yield, appears in an appendix. This is an invaluable basic reference for winemaking students, wine professionals and anyone with a genuine interest in wine.
