Volume 114 (2024) Wine Production, Trade and Consumption in the Southern Levant
Wine consumption is an ongoing social act practiced on domestic, religious and state level. This volume presents a varied range of studies that broadly consider wine, wine production and trade in the Southern Levant. The papers examine the technology applied to extract wine from grapes to better understand aspects related to the chain of production and the manner in which these installations and their various parts functioned, the containers in which wine was transported over land and sea and the political and economic systems influenced by it.
