London : Houlston and Wright MDCCCLX 1860. First Edition. Printed by H Tuck Aldersgate-Street London. Octavo 195x130mm publisher's original claret brown ribbon cloth boards blind ruled border title and spine in gilt pale yellow endpapers xv1240pp : A⸠B-Qâ¸.

Redding was a British journalist and writer. Whilst working in Paris he broke the news of Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo. He worked tirelessly for a number of newspapers and magazines including the Monthly and the Metropolitan. His most influential work was his History and Description of Modern Wines 1833 with later editions in 1836 1851 and 1860; the text was based on careful personal observation and gleanings from many sources including Jullien and Chaptal. Here Redding provides a more detailed examination solely of the wine trade in France due to the importance and size of the trade with Great Britain which had been recently encouraged by a liberalisation of trade laws and the taxation applied to French wines. In addition to the expected description of the major producing areas and celebrated vineyards there is a detailed discussion of wine making practices viticulture soils the technical analysis of wine and distillation; comparative measurements taxation and consumer trends. The major part of the work is devoted to the wines of the Gironde and the greater Bordeaux area. There are also sizeable chapters on Burgundy Champagne and the Loire. There is also a significant amount of statistical information about French wine production alcohol levels pricing and taxation together with a very useful Alphabetical Table of the important French vineyards and their departments as of 1860. Scarce. An excellent copy and a cornerstone of any serious collection on the wines of France. Significant as a detailed record of French wine production and trade before the devastation of phylloxera. § Gabler G35830; Simon BV p.109; Simon BG p.121; Noling p.342; Bitting 391.

1880réf. 74379Marseille: N.p. ca. 1880. A large gathering of plant specimens from the wine growing regions of southwest France. Each specimen is mounted via paper holders to bifoliums measuring 12 1/2 x 20 inches and each specimen within a genus folder containing differing amounts of specimens. Each specimen is named in French on the front of the bifolium and and in much more detail in a small square on the bottom right of the page bearing the specimen .E.g.: Scrofularinees for Scrophulariaceae; In this folder are 3 specimens of species of this genus—— Linaria Cymbalaria; Linaria arvensis; scrofularinee aqua. All data is in French and in manuscript and gives the French translated from the Latin name of the plant the flowering season and the type of habitat and flower color if applicable. There are 15 genus folder bearing 76 actual species specimens. The specimens are on the main very large. All housed in a custom wooden slipcase with extensive brass fittings. Box measures 24 1/2 x 15 1/2 x 6 inches. No specimens broken or missing. Stock paper and chemise by Moullot Fils Ainé Marseilles. A wonderful assemblage.South West France or in French Sud-Ouest is a wine region in France covering several wine-producing areas situated respectively inland from and south of the wine region of Bordeaux. These areas which have a total of 16000 hectares 40000 acres of vineyards consist of several discontinuous wine "islands" throughout the Aquitaine region where Bordeaux region itself is situated and more or less to the west of the Midi-Pyrénées region. Thus South West France covers both the upstream areas around the rivers Dordogne and Garonne which also flow through Bordeaux where they combine to form the Gironde estuary and their tributaries as well as the wine-producing areas of Gascony including Bearn and the Northern Basque Country. However only areas closer to the Atlantic than to the Mediterranean are included in the region with the city of Toulouse being situated roughly halfway between the South West wine region and the Languedoc-Roussillon wine region on the Mediterranean. The brandy-producing region Armagnac is situated within Gascony and the wine region of South West France and some of its grapes are used to make Vin de Pays under the designation Vin de Pays de Côtes de Gascogne or mixed with Armagnac to produce the Mistelle Floc de Gascogne.South West France is a rather heterogeneous region in terms of its wines and how they are marketed. It is rare to see wines being sold as Vins du Sud-Ouest. Rather the smaller areas and individual appellations market their wines under their own smaller umbrella in contrast with common practice in e.g. the Bordeaux region. N.p. unknown

1812réf. AQ30893St. Albans: Shaw Printer 1812. 8pp. Two bilfolia disbound. Priced in manuscript. Together with: Inventory of the Effects of Mr. Charles Williams of St. Albans not included in the printed catalogue of sale. 10th December 1812. Manuscript on paper. Single bifolium An apparently unrecorded auction catalogue annotated by the auctioneer with the prices achieved of the property of a deceased wine merchant including his 'stock in trade' lotted by bin of sherry port rum gin and 'coniac brandy'. The sale realised a total of £268. 4s. 5d. and included 51 lots of his wine stock along with a sequence of empoty casks. The manuscript addendum written on the day after the public auction adds several household as well as '21 Bottles of Currant Wine in 2 Tea Canisters'. Interestingly St. Albans possessed a novel wine licensing system established under the terms of the 1570 wine charter a model not repeated elsewhere. The borough corporation had the power to grant two licences to local vintners in return for an annual endowment of £20 remarkably to be provided to the master of St. Albans grammar school for the maintenance of the institution. We have been unable to trace Charles Williams nor locate any record of his business. However it does not seem unreasonable to assume that he held one of these much sought after licenses; certainly the auction catalogue reveals an extensive stock surely necessitated by the possession of a trade monopoly. . 8vo.
