This is a study by one of Spain's leading wine writers of the devastating effect of phylloxera in his own region of Valencia. It explains how the late arrival of phylloxera to this part of Europe had a double impact. First, it provided an opportunity to export wines in bulk at high prices to France and other European countries whose vines had already been wiped out saw traditional winemaking craftsmanship cast aside in favour of rapid returns. Then, when phylloxera did eventually arrive in Valencia, the vines were destroyed just as they were recovering elsewhere. When wine production gradually resumed, the region's centuries-old reputation for fine wines had been replaced with one built on low quality bulk export wines. The book combines historical and sociological research and analysis with the human story of the catastrophic impact of phylloxera on the men and women who cultivated the vineyards and produced the wine. Aquest llibre és un estudi realitzat per un dels millors escriptors del vi i el món del vi que té Espanya. Tracta de l'efecte devastador de la Fil·loxera en la regió de València. En ell s'explica com l'arribada tardana de la Fil·loxera a aquesta part d'Europa va tenir un doble impacte: va oferir l'oportunitat d'exportar vins a gros, a preus elevats a França i altres països europeus les vinyes dels quals ja havien estat destrossades, i va fer que una llarga tradició d'elaboració de vins de qualitat es veies marginada davant la possibilitat d'exportar als països veïns tot el vi que es produïa a un excel·lent preu. Llavors, quan la Fil·loxera va arribar a València, les vinyes van ser destruïdes just quan en altres llocs s'estaven recuperant. Quan es va reprendre la producció de vi, la reputació de qualitat de la qual havien gaudit els vins valencians havia estat reemplaçada per una basada en l'exportació a gros de vi comú i corrent. El llibre combina una rigorosa anàlisi històrica i sociològica amb la història humana de les catastròfiques conseqüències de la Fil·loxera per als homes i dones que conreaven els vinyets i elaboraven el vi. 3
