DESCRIPTION
Viticulture and wine production have been embedded in the Mediterranean region for thousands of years and these activities have become synonymous with many local cultures. Students will study the evolution of wine from its pre-historic origins near the fertile crescent through to the modern era in the Mediterranean basin. We will learn how production methods and consumption habits developed over time and space, how a culture of wine and local identities co-evolved and how many Mediterranean countries, through regional and external forces, came to be the world's standard bearer for the global wine industry. This class enjoys field visits and tastings of regional wines. Extra fee required.
