The Wine Trade in Medieval Europe 1000-1500
Author: Susan Rose
Publisher: A&C Black
ISBN: 1441105484
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 277
Book Description
Wine has held its place for centuries at the heart of social and cultural life in western Europe. This book explains how and why this came about, providing a thematic history of wine and the wine trade in Europe in the middle ages from c.1000 to c.1500.Wine was one of the earliest commodities to be traded across the whole of western Europe. Because of its commercial importance, more is probably known about the way viticulture was undertaken and wine itself was made, than the farming methods used with most other agricultural products at the time. Susan Rose addresses questions such as:Where were vines grown at this time? How was wine made and stored? Were there acknowledged distinctions in quality? How did traders operate? What were the social customs associated with wine drinking? What view was taken by moralists? How important was its association with Christian ritual? Did Islamic prohibitions on alcohol affect the wine trade? What other functions did wine have?

Jews and the Wine Trade in Medieval Europe
Author: Haym Soloveitchik
Publisher: Liverpool University Press
ISBN: 1802071156
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 307
Book Description
Although Jews were at the centre of commercial activity in medieval Europe, a talmudic ban on any wine touched by a Gentile prevented them from engaging in the lucrative wine trade. Wine was consumed in vast quantities in the Middle Ages, and the banks of the Rhineland hosted some of the finest vineyards in northern Europe. German Jews were, until the thirteenth century, a merchant class. How could they abstain from trading in one of the region’s major commodities? In time, they ruled that it was permissible to accept wine in payment of debt, but forbade trading in it, and they maintained that ban throughout the Middle Ages. Further study in the twelfth century, however, led Talmudists to discover that Jews were only forbidden to profit from trading in Gentile wine if they dealt with idolaters, but that trade with Christians and Muslims was permitted. Nevertheless, the German community refused to take advantage of this clear licence. Using Jewish and Gentile sources, this study probes the sources of this powerful taboo. In describing the complex ways in which deeply held cultural values affect Jews’ engagement in the economy of the surrounding society, this book also illustrates the law of unintended consequences—how the ban on Gentile wine led both to a major Jewish contribution to German viticulture and to the involvement of Jews in moneylending, with all its tragic consequences.

Amphoras and the Ancient Wine Trade
Author: Virginia Grace
Publisher: ASCSA
ISBN: 9780876616192
Category : Agora (Athens, Greece)
Languages : en
Pages : 36
Book Description
Although this booklet is based on broken pottery found during the excavation of the Agora, the author ranges far beyond the confines of Athens in her discussion of the purpose and significance of different amphora types. Amphoras were used in the ancient world to transport various different types of products, including wine and oil. The author shows how chronological variations in shape and the geographical clues offered by stamped handles make amphoras a fascinating source of economic information. The booklet illustrates many different forms of amphora, all set into context by the well-written text.

Wine and the Wine Trade
Author: André Louis Simon
Publisher: Edizioni Savine
ISBN: 8896365902
Category : Antiques & Collectibles
Languages : en
Pages : 122
Book Description
“ ...Whether we drink wine or not, we have everything to gain and nothing to lose by knowing a few elementary truths about it. Where does the Vine grow and where are different wines made ? What kind of a Trade is the English Wine Trade ? What about those wines which we hear and read about so often : Port, Champagne, Claret, Burgundy, Sherry, Hock and Moselle ? These are the questions which I have attempted to answer in the present book. In the present work, I have endeavoured to compass under the smallest possible volume the greatest number of elementary truths about Wine and the English Wine Trade, in order that the general public in England might acquire, should they desire to do so, a little more knowledge than they appear to possess about one of the greatest of all God's gifts to man : WINE.” (1921 – André Louis Simon)
