Workman Pub Co. 03/01/2005. 320 pgs. Christy Campbell provides a lucid and fascinating history of the crisis that took place in the wine industry in 1864, when diseased imported American vines contaminated huge swaths of vineyards in France. Campbell explores the causes of the disaster--an early globalization glitch--and its horrific effects, including the loss of many small mom-and-pop vineyards, as well as the frustrating but ultimately successful search for a remedy, which was a triumph of international cooperation.
