Beckwith was a London wine merchant and wrote this small book following his attendance at the Paris Exhibition of 1867. The book caused a small storm in the USA at the time due it’s rather dismissive references to American wines.
Beckwith’s comments on Port are almost entirely focused on the hot topic of the time, which was whether or not Port wine should be fortified during or after fermentation. Beckwith stands firmly on the side of Baron Forrester in the debate.
