This two-volume collection analyses the evolution of wine production in European regions across the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. France and Italy in particular have shaped modern viticulture, by improving oenological methods and knowledge, then disseminating them internationally. 

This second volume looks closely at wine markets and trade, also examining the role of institutions and quality regulation.
