Lecture 1 • Reading Materials • • Geography of Viticulture (Harm J. de Blij) • The Geography of Wine (Brian J. Sommers) • American Winescapes (Gary L. Peters) • Wine: A Geographic Appreciation (Harm J. de Blij) • General Viticulture (A. J. Winkler, J. A. Cook, W. M.

Lecture 1 • Contextual Setting • Definitions • Viticulture • The growing of grapes • Viniculture • The making of Wine • Vineyard • Place, farm, plantation where grapes are grown

Lecture 1 • Ampelography • The science concerned with the identification, description, classification, and behaviour of grapebearing vines (Ampelos is Greek for Vine) • Ampelogeography • Adds the geographical or spatial dimension to Ampelography (origins, distribution, and diffusion of grape varieties) • Terroir • A French word reflecting the expression in a wine of the soil, microclimate/weather, and farming methods of a vineyard site.

Lecture 1 • Enology • Enology, also oeonology, is the study of wines and wine making, from the moment vines are planted to the best way to store wine bottles for long cellaring. • Other terms: online dictionary e. g. http: //www. grapestomper. com/wineglossary. html.

Lecture 1 • Where does the Geography / Geology come in? • An area of study within the discipline • Growing interest • Physical and Human dimensions • Regional (local) and Systematic (global) components • Geology, Topography, Soils, Temperature, Rainfall, Micro-climate, Landscape, Land-cover / Land-use, Architecture • Physical, Human, Environmental, Social, Historical, Cultural, Regional, Economic, & Political Geography • Also: Monitoring, Mapping and Modelling the environment e. g. Cartography, GPS, GIS, Remote Sensing, Modelling, Internet •
