"Madeira is one of the world's great wines, with a history that few others can equal. It is a wine of legend. For centuries it was the wine of connoisseurs on both sides of the Atlantic, and venerable bottles still remain in private cellars, for it is a wine that lives practically for ever. Lately it has experienced some years in the wilderness, but now a world-wide resurgence in the popularity of Madeira is under way. Yet little has been published about the wine or its history. This book sets out both in detail and will enable the many varieties of wine available to be enjoyed for their merits and in their historical context."--BOOK JACKET.

Madeira is one of the world's great wines, with a history that few others can equal. It is a wine of legend. For centuries it was the wine of connoisseurs on both sides of the Atlantic, and venerable bottles still remain in private cellars, for it is a wine that lives practically for ever. Lately it has experienced some years in the wilderness, but now a world-wide resurgence in the popularity of Madeira is under way. Yet little has been published about the wine or its history. This book sets out both in detail and will enable the many varieties of wine available to be enjoyed for their merits and in their historical context.

a detailed study of seventy wine estates or quintas in the dramatically beautiful but little-known Douro region of northern Portugal where port is produced.

Hungary has 22 wine regions, and a once-proud tradition that had to be completely reinvented after 45 years of communism—during which time the entire structure of grape growing and wine production was altered beyond recognition. This fascinating reference details that readjustment, which continues to this day, and shows how it has developed through privatization, foreign investment, and the dedication of small producers who struggle to achieve quality standards despite a chronic lack of capital. More than 300 wine producers are featured, not only from the famous regions like Tokaj and Villany, where significant progress has been made, but also from the lesser-known regions that may yet have the potential to make world-class wines.
