"The Wine Press and the Cellar: A Manual for the Wine-Maker and the Cellar-Man" by E. H. Rixford is a practical manual dedicated to wine-making, written in the late 19th century. This work serves as a comprehensive guide for both novice and experienced wine-makers in California, providing detailed information on the processes of grape harvesting, fermentation, and wine production. The book delves into various aspects of viticulture, from the nuances of grape maturity to the specific methods used in winery operations. The opening of the manual outlines the historical context of grape prices and wine demand in California from the late 1870s through the early 1880s. It emphasizes the importance of proper grape harvesting and wines' quality, alongside a call for adopting successful practices inspired by Europe's renowned vineyards. Furthermore, Rixford discusses the growing interest in California wines, highlighting the need for a structured approach to wine-making to ensure the production of high-quality wines that could compete with established European varieties. He intends for this manual to be a helpful resource for those entering the industry, aiming to distill extensive knowledge from European methods while acknowledging the unique conditions present in California.
