Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the history of the wine industry in England, particularly focusing on the relationship between import duties and the consumption of wine. The author explores the historical context of wine taxation, beginning with the reign of William III, and explains how duties have been used as both a tool to regulate consumption and as a source of revenue for the government. The author explores the various experiments with wine duties conducted by William Pitt between 1786 and 1815. The book also examines the decline in wine consumption in England after the Napoleonic Wars, as well as the impact of the Methuen Treaty on the British wine market and the effects of the vine disease in France on the global wine trade. The book concludes by examining the potential impact of further reductions in wine duties on consumption and revenue, and the challenges of introducing new wines into the English market.
