Opis

"There are about forty species of grapes in the world, more than half of which are found in North America. A statement of the difference between European and American grapes shows why American viticulturists are so eager to grow either purebreds from the foreign grape or hybrids with it... The methods of the past in domesticating the native grapes have been wholly empirical and extremely wasteful. Many have been called, but few chosen. But with the knowledge of breeding and with the experience of the past, domestication ought to proceed with greater certainty..." This book presents the history of American Grapes domestication and Wine-Making.
