Is wine an artisanal creation or industrial product? The first
edition of Wine Myths and Reality was widely praised for its
innovative view of how wine is made and what distinguishes wines
from different places. The world of wine is constantly changing and
this second edition is expanded and completely rewritten to take
account of new developments. Panoramic in its scope, magisterial in
its treatment, and meticulous in its research, Wine Myths and
Reality explores the world of wine extensively. From monks treading
grapes in the Middle Ages to the latest research into grapevine
DNA, this compelling book presents the authoritative account of how
wine is really made. Practices in viticulture and vinification are
explained, the tricks of the wine trade are revealed, the methods
of the New and the Old Worlds are scrutinised, and their wines are
evaluated. Extensively illustrated with photographs, maps and
charts, the approachable and entertaining style immediately engages
the reader in the wine universe. An overview of all major
wine-producing countries extends from the powerful wines of the New
World to the classic wines of Europe. Does terroir really matter?
Is the international style taking over? Will global warming destroy
the existing wine-producing regions? And extrapolating from current
trends, what will wine be like in the future?
