First published in 1863, this is a fascinating read with lots of general information about wine and the wine trade in the 1800s, including a whole chapter on the subject of Gout!
Seventy of the five hundred and forty pages form a chapter dedicated to Port, Oporto and the Douro.
This edition is limited to 500 copies produced by Bacchus Press in 1992 and is a re-typeset version of the 1864 second edition.

This is a report produced for the House of Representatives as a result of “the appropriation of June 25, 1860, for the collection of agricultural statistics, investigations for promoting agriculture and rural economy, and the procurement of cuttings and seeds”.
A comprehensive book on the subject of wine which references many of the leading authors of the time such as Henderson and Redding. A very good option if you only want to buy one old book on wine as it draws the views of many authors into one volume.
An interesting old book about the care, storage and serving of wines.
One of a number of similar books from this period instructing the trade on the care and treatment of wines and spirits.
An enormous volume that I have not yet read.
