Summary[edit]

Description

Alphonse Loubat, a New York merchant born in France, planted a large vineyard of vinifera vines in Brooklyn in the 1820s and published a book, in both French and English, called The American Vine-Dresser's Guide (1827). Interesting chiefly as a late memorial to the futile belief that vinifera would do well in the American East after two hundred years of unbroken

failure, it was, for some inexplicable reason, reprinted in 1872, when its views had long been discredited. Pinney, Thomas. A History of Wine in America: From the Beginnings to Prohibition. Berkeley: University of California Press, 1989.
