The theologian and poet Wandalbert von Prüm (813-870) became a monk in 839 in the Benedictine Abbey Prüm in the West Eifel(Rhineland-Palatinate). He wrote a kind of liturgical calendar of saints for the church year. In it he also wrote about viticulture during the year. Wandalbert mentioned May wine for the first time.

There is a vast number of sources on the web where one can acquire knowledge about wine. But none has the scope, timeliness and accuracy of the information in the encyclopaedia at wein.plus. I use it regularly and rely on it.
