Presentation :

The mysteries of crossbreeding in the world of vines and wine finally revealed! An invitation to travel through the ages and countries.

Is the world of vines and wine driven by crossbreeding processes? Such a question calls for moving away from a static apprehension of wine and invites, on the contrary, to consider it as the object of circulation, of cultural shocks, of reuse, of reinvention. From its most biological variations to the most social, symbolic and artistic, crossbreeding opens a vast field of reflection on travel, from Antiquity to the present day, of vines and wine in countries as diverse as China. , Lebanon, Italy... The field is open just as widely to changes in the profession, to the evolution of production, marketing and communication, echoing societal and technological changes.

To explore such a subject, this second opus of the “In Vino Varietas Libris” collection was constructed from two university conferences organized in Toulouse. Composed of four parts, “from one civilization to another”, “circulation and acclimatization”, “identity constructions” and “crossbreeding in the making”, it brings together actors from the academic and professional worlds, from very varied disciplines.
