Abstract
In comparison to the 6,000 years of wine-growing history in Europe, the 400-year span of American vines and wines seems minuscule. But it should be remembered that most of the major development in the Old World took place during these same four centuries. Few modern-day European wine producers can boast continuous ownership of estate vineyards and cellars since before the 17th century.
