Seller's Description:
Very Good. Hardcover. 8vo. Published by Paul Elek, London, UK. 1951, 199 pages; 10 p. Index; Reference works, 4 pages; illustrated with 91 photos and 10 maps; map endpapers; Second Printing. DJ has shelf-wear present to the DJ extremities (DJ has chipping and wear present to the extremities). Bound in cloth boards with titles present to the spine and front board. Boards have light shelf-wear present to the extremities. No ownership marks present. Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. This is a thorough popular treatise on the wine industry in Western Germany (circa 1950), from the north around Bonn to the Rhine's north bank opposite Switzerland. Areas covered include: History of German Viticulture, how wine is made from grape harvest to blending; Nomenclature; Kinds of Vine & their diseases; How to judge wines, tasting; how to drink it, when (with what food, etc); a Wine Journey through thirteen districts along the Rhine (or in that river's tributaries)--area wines, towns and countryside are described in some detail (in words, maps and photos); this is the core of the book, taking up about 70 pages; Vintages, Wine Festivals and German food have sections, and everything you may have dreamed of knowing about German wines can be found in the nine Appendices. Our author says he was born in one of the areas he describes, and I believe it, for this little book is one detailed, logical and precise Germanic wine book--in my estimation.; 8vo 8"-9" tall.
