Chancers
and Visionaries A History of
New Zealand Wine
Keith Stewart Though New Zealand's wine industry is one of the most vital of the New World wine regions, very little is known of its history. It is a dramatic and engaging narrative, where Temperance movements allay with an aggressive beer industry to squash a thriving wine sector, and the pushback by Catholic priests to preserve it. In this carefully researched, evocatively
told history, well-known wine writer Keith Stewart uncovers the fascinating story of wine in this country and highlights the remarkable characters who believed in it and whose passion drove it forward, even in its darkest decades.

Tokaji Wine Fame, Fate, Tradition
Miles Lambert-Gócs
The world's first botrytis wine, Hungary's Tokaji won an enviable reputation centuries ago. But never before have the development of its wine- types and the story of its ups and downs in fame and prestige been presented so fully in English. Everything from Hungary's founding in the 10th century through the recent communist period is covered. Relying on an array of Hungarian source materials, Lambert-Gócs sets the information out in encyclopedia fashion, with easily digested A to Z entries in four categories: People; Places; Vineyard- Tracts; Grape Varieties and Wine-making. Each section concludes with essays that tie the entries together. Besides being an outstanding reference
work, Tokaji Wine is sprinkled with fascinating notes and bacchic humor that make it a delight to read.
