What They're Saying

Critics Review

This volume gathers the latest research on grape growing and wine production in the Roman Mediterranean. While the approaches are cutting edge, the methods and case studies are explained well for the non-expert. Bringing together the work of both established scholars as well as more junior newcomers also means that this volume serves as an essential state of the field collection. – Laura M. Banducci, Associate Professor of Greek and Roman Studies, Carleton University, Canada
