Provocative and quirky,Grapeis the highly readable story of vineyards and wines in South Africa. It takes us from the earliest Dutch settlers struggle to plant vines under difficult conditions, through slavery, the forgotten black wine makers, land dispossession, a long history of making plonk (with a few exceptions) and the emergence of a world-class fine wine culture in the 1990s.

In gripping journalistic style,Grapefollows the fluctuating fortunes of the wine industry and the growth of a thriving table grape export business, recounting the stories of real people, from slaves and farm workers to the modern-day businessmen who buy wine farms not for the returns, but for the almost mythical status of owning a wine farm.

Paperback. English. Tafelberg. 2011. Good Condition.
