Madeira

Summary
Madeira is one of the world's great wines, with a history that few others can equal. It is a wine of legend. For centuries it was the wine of connoisseurs on both sides of the Atlantic, and venerable bottles still remain in private cellars, for it is a wine that lives practically for ever. Lately it has experienced some years in the wilderness, but now a world-wide resurgence in the popularity of Madeira is under way. Yet little has been published about the wine or its history. This book sets out both in detail and will enable the many varieties of wine available to be enjoyed for their merits and in their historical context.
