Middle Ages

The clergyman Johann Rasch (1540-1612) studied at the University of Wittenberg. In 1570 he became organist at the Schottenstift in Vienna (Austria) and wrote one of the oldest wine books in German, which was first published in 1580 under the title "Weinbuch: Von Baw, Pfleg und Brauch des Weins". In this book, the methods of winegrowing in the vineyard and cellar during the Middle Ages are described in great detail.
