For centuries, wine has been associated with France more than with
any other country. France remains one of the world's leading wine
producers by volume and enjoys unrivalled cultural recognition for
its wine. If any wine regions are global household names, they are
French regions such as Champagne, Bordeaux, and Burgundy. Within
the wine world, products from French regions are still benchmarks
for many wines. French Wine is the first synthetic history of wine
in France: from Etruscan, Greek, and Roman imports and the adoption
of wine by beer-drinking Gauls to its present status within the
global marketplace. Rod Phillips places the history of grape
growing and winemaking in each of the country's major regions
within broad historical and cultural contexts. Examining a range of
influences on the wine industry, wine trade, and wine itself, the
book explores religion, economics, politics, revolution, and war,
as well as climate and vine diseases. French Wine is the essential
reference on French wine for collectors, consumers, sommeliers, and
industry professionals.
