The Vikings called North America 'Vinland', the land of wine. The history of wine in America is, in many ways, the history of American origins and of American enterprise in microcosm. This title offers a comprehensive account of winemaking in the US, from the Norse discovery of native grapes in 1001 AD, through Prohibition, and up to the present.
