The Wine Revolution in France; The Twentieth Century
Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 1990. Hardcover. 288 pages. 24 x 16 cm. During the past eight decades French vineyards, wineries, and wine marketing efforts have undergone such profound changes - from technological, scientific, economic, and commercial standpoints - that the transformation is revolutionary for an industry dating back thousands of years. The author examines how the modernization of Western society has brought about new conditions in well established markets, making the introduction of novel techniques and processes a matter of survival for winegrowers.
