Wine from <i>Vitis vinifera</i> grapes was first made there in the 1650s and continuously until Prohibition. <br /><br />Do we take the present borders and claim wine made on US soil since... a hundred and twenty years before we were a country? Or do we start counting from when Texas joined the Union in 1845, or when Texas was readmitted after its 1861-1865 membership in the Confederacy?<br /><br />And just to throw another spanner in the works... What about the status of US embassies and military bases throughout Europe? Depending on the various legal interpretations of extraterritoriality, if any wine was made on that spot, it means that "American" wine was made thousands of years ago on the other side of the Atlantic. <br /><br />Hey, want to make things even more fun? The fuzzy status of Canadian independence from England means that, potentially, a British wine industry (no laughing, please) flourished on North American soil well into the 20th century. <br /><br />Cheers,<br />BenitoBenitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15642446480589939085noreply@blogger.com
