"Wine has held its place for centuries at the heart of social and
cultural life in western Europe. This book will explain how and why
this came about, providing a thematic history of wine and the wine
trade in Europe in the middle ages from c.1000 to c.1500. Wine was
one of the earliest commodities to be traded across the whole of
western Europe. Because of its commercial importance, more is
probably known about the way viticulture was undertaken and wine
itself was made, than the farming methods used with most other
agricultural products at the time. Susan Rose addresses questions
such as: Where were vines grown at this time?How was wine made and
stored?Were there acknowledged distinctions in quality?How did
traders operate?What were the social customs associated with wine
drinking? What view was taken by moralists? How important was its
association with Christian ritual? Did Islamic prohibitions on
alcohol affect the wine trade? What other functions did wine have?"
