The clergyman Johann Rasch (1540-1612) worked as an organist at the Schottenstift in Vienna (Austria) and wrote one of the oldest wine books in the German language, which first appeared in 1580. It contains numerous rules, regulations and advice on viticulture, cellar management, wine storage and wine tasting. See also under Literature.
Wine book: Norbert F. J. Tischelmayer
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.
