- Provides an up-to-date analysis of the current wine industry and the people making the wines- Author is an acknowledged expert on Australian wine- Contains handy list of 101 Australian wines to taste, enabling readers to gain a detailed picture of the wine output of the countryAustralia's wine history dates back almost 250 years, to the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788. The first commercial wine region, the Hunter Valley in New South Wales, was created a mere 40 years later, and by as early as the 1850s small amounts of wine were being exported to the UK. In the modern era, Australian wine became known for fortified wine styles modeled on Port and Sherry. These were the main wine styles consumed for several decades, but by the mid-1990s nearly all grapes were going into table wine and Australia was the sixth largest global exporter of wine. Vibrant, varietally expressive and affordable wines introduced new generations of drinkers to the joys of wine. The popularity of Australian wine has ebbed and flowed over the years but experimentation, innovation and the illumination of newer regions has created a quiet revolution, challenging preconceptions of what is possible. In The Wines of Australia, sommelier Mark Davidson tastes his way round this new Australian wine world. European immigration was an important factor in the development of wine but it also had a dramatic and negative impact on the indigenous peoples, an issue that Davidson addresses in a chapter on history and culture, explaining how the wine industry is taking steps to involve First Nations peoples in grape growing and winemaking. The growing environment, including the critical question of climate change, is tackled, and today's most important grape varieties, along with those that can take Australian wine into the future, are profiled. This is followed by a chapter explaining why the country is home to some of the oldest vines in the world. Every region is clearly delineated, its key producers introduced and their wines assessed. The Wines of Australia captures the character of one of the most exciting wine-producing countries on the planet.

From Mark Davidson, the author of Daniel Revisited. What would you do? What if you stumbled across a message, a simple interpretation of scripture, much simpler than scholars had been telling us, and it opened your eyes and completely transformed your perspective of the end times? You knew in your heart and mind it was true because news events coming from the Middle East confirmed this message every day. What if millions of lives were about to be deeply affected and someone had to say something? And what if that someone had to be you? What would you do? "If you want to know the truth regarding present-day events in the Middle East and how they will affect you and your family, you need to get this book. A major fire has been lit and few are paying attention" (Dr. Sonny Payne, founder of New Gate Ministries and host of the international television program, Jerusalem Chronicles) "What Mark has done is create a very quick read for those Christians who can feel something coming but can't put their finger on it, who know that God is in control but, in a world spiraling into chaos, don't know where to go scripturally" (Chris Mantei, Northeast Region Community Voice, Voice of the Martyrs) "The message in this book needs to be heard today! I wholeheartedly and enthusiastically recommend this book. It will change the way you face the future!" (Carl Sutter, senior pastor, Foundations Church, Loveland, Colorado).
