Description
"Science, Vine, and Wine in Modern France examines the role of science in the civilization of wine in modern France. Viticulture, the science of the vine itself, and oenology, the science winemaking are its subjects. Together, they can boast of at least two major triumphs: the creation of the post-phylloxera vines that repopulated late-nineteenth-century vineyards devastated by the disease; and an understanding of the complex structure of wine that eventually resulted in the development of the widespread wine models of Bordeaux, Burgundy, and Champagne."--Jacket.
First Sentence
It is difficult to overestimate the economic and social importance of the vine in French history.
