Wine Genesis takes up where the wine book Vinaria left off. Vinaria has long been out of print and for this reason significant parts of the original book have been reproduced. In this new book, wine lovers will discover fresh features, like the descriptions of the work in the vineyard and the complete process of winemaking from month to month as the year unfolds. One of its most important features is the "ampelography" - the study of grape varieties. With a series of photographs such as the world has never seen before, Peter Oberleithner and Karl Mayer have managed to portray not only the best cultivars but also those that have been long forgotten.
