Popis: "Notre Europe" dedicates a component of its programme “What Binds us Together: European Identity” to the study of questions dealing with food and territory in Europe.In this study, Aziliz Gouez and Boris Petric take on the case of a highly symbolic product: wine. The love of the soil, the lore of alchemic nuptials between sun and vine stock, the Dionysian ecstasy the drink induces are attitudes broadly shared by all Europeans. The analysis of the upheavals affecting both wine consumption and production proves very enlightening. It helps grasping the identity issues at stake in the European construction and in the exponential growth of exchanges at world level, at a time when vine, traditionally the Mediterranean’s “plant of civilisation”, has earned credentials in countries far removed from its cradle.
