Wine Grapes

The comprehensive work with the subtitle "A complete guide to 1,368 vine varieties, including their origins and flavours" about grapes and grape varieties was published in 2012 by Penguin Books Ltd (London). The 1,242-page book contains many pictures of grape variety colour charts from the famous work "Ampélographie" by the ampelographers Victor Vermorel (1848-1927) and Pierre Viala (1859-1936). The authors are Jancis Robinson, Julia Harding and José Vouillamoz. Wine Grapes includes all commercial varieties (those for which no wine producers were found are missing).

Use as a source

Wine Grapes was used extensively as a source in the present Wine lexicon, whereby the author (Norbert Tischelmayer) worked closely with Dr José Vouillamoz. The Lexicon also includes varieties that are no longer cultivated and extinct varieties of historical significance. In addition, the extensive DNA analyses carried out from 2013 onwards by vine geneticists Jean-Michel Boursiquot, Javier Ibáñez, Thierry Lacombe and others, which provided information on the parentage of many hundreds of grape varieties, were also taken into account. Of course, these could not yet be used in the work "Wine Grapes" published in 2012.
