Concise History of Australian Wine by John Beeston

This history of Australian wine spans the period from the planting of the first vine to the export boom of the 1990s. It charts the growth, decline and rebirth of the major winegrowing areas, as well as trends in consumption. Winemakers of both the past and present are profiled, including the early colonial settlers, the patriarchs of the wine families of South Australia, and the new breed of boutique winemakers. An appendix gives up-to-date address and personnel details for all Australian winemakers, plus their best recent vintages.
John Beeston is one of Australia's most experienced wine writers. He is the author of 'Varietal Wines of Australia' and contributes to 'Australian Business Monthly' and 'Gourmet Traveller'.
