Wholesale American Vintage: The Rise of American Wine

How did a country without any winemaking traditions of its own suddenly become a global leader in the wine industry? Paul Lukacs provides a history, spanning from the seventeenth century to the decline of wine during Prohibition and its remarkable resurgence in recent decades. The narrative is filled with intriguing characters and visionary figures who shaped the course of wine history: from Nicholas Longsworth to the influential Mondavis and Gallos families, who emerged as prominent figures in the modern era of American wine. The book is accompanied by 16 pages of illustrations. (This book may contain a sharpie mark on the top or bottom edge and may show mild signs of shelfwear.)
