Publishers Text

This companion volume to "Wine Regions of Australia" charts the history of Australian wine, spanning the planting of the first vine to the export boom of the 1990s. John Beeston charts the growth, decline and rebirth of the major growing areas - covering the large companies as well as the smaller concerns - and trends in consumption. He profiles winemakers of today and yesterday, including the early visionaries who saw wine as a civilizing agent in the new colonies and a product which could boost their struggling economies, the patriarchs of the wine families of South Australia and the new breed of boutique winemakers. An appendix lists current winemakers, with address details, prize-winning wines, best recent vintages and yield.
