History of Ancient and Modern Wines by Alexander Henderson (1824)

38D9DA92-1781-40D0-B049-83D511E15142-256Published in 1824, this is one of the earliest comprehensive books on wine written in the English language, and has invariably featured in the bibliography of any serious book about the history of wine and wine-making since it was written. There is a significant chapter on Port wine.

This volume is from a 500 copy limited edition re-print published by the Bacchus Press in 1979.

This is one of the very few ancient books on wine that has not yet been made available as a mass-market facsimile re-print.
