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.

Author John Beeston eschews the picture-format for a meatier approach, providing a thorough guide to the continent's burbeoning wine territories. -- Bon Appetit
This is as good a guidebook to Australian wine geography as you're likely to find in print. -- Wine Spectator
