Imperial Wine traces in meticulous detail how the apparently modern fashion for New World wines is in fact the legacy of Empire."--Lizzie Collingham, author of The Hungry Empire: How Britain's Quest for Food Shaped the Modern World "Elegantly written and with impressive far-ranging research, which quite literally spans the globe, Imperial Wine will contribute to debates about the nature of British imperialism.

"Fascinating and surprising. Imperial Wine traces in meticulous detail how the apparently modern fashion for New World wines is in fact the legacy of Empire."--Lizzie Collingham, author of The Hungry Empire: How Britain's Quest for Food Shaped the Modern World "Elegantly written and with impressive far-ranging research, which quite literally spans the globe, Imperial Wine will contribute to debates about the nature of British imperialism. Jennifer Regan-Lefebvre's principal strength is how she uses the story of wine and winemaking as a window into the nature of 'settler colonialism' and the integrative forces of the British imperialism. In doing so, she shows how imperialism turned Great Britain from a country of beer drinkers into a country of beer and wine drinkers."--Stephen V. Bittner, author of Whites and Reds: A History of Wine in the Lands of Tsar and Commissar "Like a good wine, Imperial Wine hits many notes. The narrative is brisk and lively, but it also has nuance and depth due to the attention Regan-Lefebvre gives to the roles of British imperialism and settler colonialism in the rise of the 'new world' wines of Australia and South Africa."--Dane Kennedy, author of The Imperial History Wars: Debating the British Empire "This wide-ranging transnational history gives fascinating and often surprising insights into the connections between viticulture and Empire. It is a thought-provoking and learned page-turner."--Richard Toye, author of Churchill's Empire: The World That Made Him and the World he Made
