The science, practice and study of vineyard production is known as viticulture.

Wine making technology improved considerably with the ancient Greeks but it wasn't until the end of the Roman Empire that cultivation techniques as we know them were common throughout Europe. In medieval Europe the Church was a staunch supporter of wine, which was necessary for the celebration of the Mass. During the lengthy instability of the Middle Ages, the monasteries maintained and developed viticultura ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
