The History of Wine in Africa and Asia - Includes African, Persian, and Indian Wines, and Chinese, Russian, and Turkish Wines

by Edward Randolph Emerson and Edward R. Emerson

This volume contains a comprehensive guide to historical winemaking in Africa, Persia, India, China, Russia, and Turkey. A fantastically detailed and thoroughly interesting treatise, "The History of Wine in Africa and Asia" is highly recommended for those with a keen interest in wine, and is not to be missed by collectors of related literature. Contents include: "Winemaking", "African, Persian and Indian Wines", "Cape Wines", "Boer Reverence for Precedent", "In North Africa", "Persia the Nursery of Wine-Making", "Wine vs. the Koran", "Persian Grapes", "Selling Wine by the Pound", "Shiraz", "Intoxication", "The Wines of India", etc. Many vintage books like this are becoming increasingly hard-to-come-by and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality addition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on winemaking.
