In this provocative new book, Owen Bird writes frankly and with
authority on the German wine industry; how it got into trouble and
how it can rescue itself. He gives considerable insight into the
pre-eminence of Riesling as driving the future of the industry. An
in-depth analysis of German wine laws, labelling, competition from
the New World and the advent of "flying winemaking" are all
presented from a winemaking point of view. The steps taken by the
German Wine Institute and the Verband Deutscher Pradikatsweinguter
(VDP) to renew the image of German wine are compared and
contrasted. For the first time in English, the new "Great Growths"
Classification system launched by the VDP is explained and the
individual terroirs discussed making this an ideal reference book
and providing a current overview of the German wine industry.
