The War on Wine
University of Nevada Press (Verlag)
978-1-64779-114-8 (ISBN)
Throughout American history the prohibition and restriction of alcohol, including wine, has been part of what we now call culture wars. After losing the Prohibition Constitutional Amendment, anti-alcohol forces rebranded themselves as neoprohibitionists dedicated to the restriction of alcohol usage and they touted themselves as the counter-voice to alcohol organizations like the Wine Institute led by John A. De l.uca from 1976 to 2013.
Victor W. Geraci, who earned his PhD in history at the University of California Santa Barbara, was an assistant and then associate professor of history at Central Connecticut State University from 1997 to 2003. In 2003, Geraci began a new role with the University of California Berkeley Bancroft Library Oral History Center as a food and wine historian/specialist, and was the program's associate director until his retirement in 2013. His main areas of research include American agriculture with a specific focus on the California wine industry.
