The growth of molecular biology has allowed proper investigation of grapevine identity and lineage and led to improvements in the winemaking process.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book explores the history and appreciation of wine, its early role as a medicine and modern evidence on how and why wine protects against disease. It also addresses genetic modification of the grapevine, long recognized as a natural process, and of the microbes involved in the making of wine.
