Overview
This guide to wine production in the USA, Canada, and Mexico, highlights geographical, philosophical, and commercial variations throughout the region. It consists of a series of introductory essays, discussing in depth key topics such as prohibition, cybersales, wine auctions, microbiology, labour, and viticulture, followed by more than 500 A-Z entries, including individual wineries and winemakers, regions, grape varieties and technical term. The text is closely linked by the use of cross-references to the ""Oxford Companion to Wine"", to which it serves as a complementary volume.
