";A must-read for any wine grape grower or winemaker who has ever wrestled with the most important myths of winegrowing or debated them with colleagues-and that would be all of us! It is also a great read for any wine consumer interested in looking at 'the man behind the curtain,' so to speak: the myths promoted by wine writers, tasting room staff, sommeliers and other wine gatekeepers.";-Wines & Vines ";A meticulously researched volume that every serious sommelier should read . . . if only to disagree."; -The Somm Journal Wine is a traditional product with traditional explanations. Oft-romanticized, Old World notions of how to create fine wine have been passed down through generations and continue to dominate popular discussions of wine quality. However, many of these beliefs predate science and remain isolated from advances in the understanding of how crops grow and fruit ripens. Allegiance to them has frequently impeded open-minded investigation into how grapevines interact with the environment, thus limiting innovation in winegrowing. In Terroir and Other Myths of Winegrowing, Mark A. Matthews applies a scientist's skepticism and scrutiny to examine widely held beliefs about viticulture. Is terroir primarily a marketing ploy that obscures understanding of which environments really produce the best wine? Is reducing yield an imperative for high quality grapes and wine? What does it mean to have vines that are balanced or grapes that are physiologically mature? Matthews explores and dissects these and other questions to debunk the myths of winegrowing that may be holding us back from achieving a higher wine quality.

This book explores the origins and significance of the French concept of terroir, demonstrating that the way the French eat their food and drink their wine today derives from a cultural mythology that developed between the Renaissance and the Revolution. Through close readings and an examination of little-known texts from diverse disciplines, Thomas Parker traces terroir's evolution, providing insight into how gastronomic mores were linked to aesthetics in language, horticulture, and painting and how the French used the power of place to define the natural world, explain comportment, and frame France as a nation.

La récente - et très médiatique - découverte d’une mosaïque exceptionnelle à Saint-Paul-Trois-Châteaux (Drôme) est venue à point nommé illustrer le développement des recherches sur le riche passé de l’antique Augusta Tricastinorum. Succédant au vaste oppidum de Barry et établie à ses pieds, cette cité fut, en effet, chef-lieu du peuple des Tricastini - et à ce titre, dotée d’une parure monumentale et d’un rempart - puis après la christianisation, siège de l’évêché médiéval. Fruit d’une collaboration pluridisciplinaire, cet ouvrage fait le point aussi bien sur les acquis des fouilles entreprises depuis une dizaine d’années que sur les études de topographie urbaine et rurale, les données épigraphiques ou encore l’évolution de l’environnement. Confrontant cette documentation variée par des approches diverses, il propose une analyse globale du développement de la cité et de son terroir. The results of the excavations and survey work carried out over a period of ten years at Saint-Paul-Trois-Chateaux and in its surrounding region allow us to present some preliminary conclusions. From the sixth century B-C this small region was occupied by Tricastin, and during the Augustan period their city was surrounded by a stone rempart. Within the confines of the centuriation system recorded in the cadastre Βof Orange, the development of the town and countryside was directed towards the requirements of long-distance trade. From the study of the re-occupation of a site in the vicinity of the city we can address the problems of the rural world during the later Roman and early Medieval periods. New readings of the Medieval texts, and the recent excavations conducted by the authors, place the churches in their urban context and determine their chronology. Finally, the early results of the study of the environmental evidence open up wide possibilities for future analyses.

Divided Spirits tells the stories of tequila and mezcal, two of Mexico's most iconic products. In doing so, the book illustrates how neoliberalism influences the production, branding, and regulation of local foods and drinks. It also challenges the strategy of relying on "alternative" markets to protect food cultures and rural livelihoods. In recent years, as consumers increasingly demand to connect with the people and places that produce their food, the concept of terroir-the taste of place-has become more and more prominent. Tequila and mezcal are both protected by denominations of origin (DOs), legal designations that aim to guarantee a product's authenticity based on its link to terroir. Advocates argue that the DOs expand market opportunities, protect cultural heritage, and ensure the reputation of Mexico's national spirits. Yet this book shows how the institutions that are supposed to guard "the legacy of all Mexicans" often fail those who are most in need of protection: the small producers, agave farmers, and other workers who have been making tequila and mezcal for generations. The consequences-for the quality and taste of tequila and mezcal, and for communities throughout Mexico-are stark. Divided Spirits suggests that we must move beyond market-based models if we want to safeguard local products and the people who make them. Instead, we need systems of production, consumption, and oversight that are more democratic, more inclusive, and more participatory. Lasting change is unlikely without the involvement of the state and a sustained commitment to addressing inequality and supporting rural development.

Un terroir et une population : entre les deux se sont tissés des liens qui forment plus qu'un espace, une structure de vie construite par la communauté villageoise. Le concept de régimes démographiques a tardé à s'imposer dans les analyses en démographie historique. Pourtant, cette approche permet d'intégrer deux dimensions longtemps négligées en démographie : les migrations et le terroir. En ce début du 19e siècle, dans la province de Namur (Belgique) confrontée aux bouleversements de la révolution industrielle, les comportements démographiques des communautés villageoises ont dû s'adapter à l'évolution physique, économique et sociale de leur environnement qui, lui-même, était modelé par l'essor sans précédent de la population. A partir d'une analyse quantitative de près de 400 communes de la province de Namur, six communes-cas reflétant la grande diversité des régimes démographiques ont été retenues pour une approche mêlant quantitatif, en observant 8'000 individus, et qualitatif, en recourant aux archives locales. Cette recherche tente en effet de réconcilier le quantitatif et le qualitatif, le macro et le micro en privilégiant un niveau méso : la communauté villageoise. «Probing relationships between individual behaviours and village-level realities remains one of the important keys to understanding the functioning of "demographic regimes", especially in the European past. One can only hope that the author of this interesting and admirable study will continue to pursue ways of doing just that. » (Katherine A. Lynch, H-France Volume 17/2017)
