Abstract

As early as the eighteenth century, Catalonia was a major centre of wine production. A portion of the territory produced wine to be made into brandy, while another portion produced wine for domestic consumption and for export. Each of these areas saw the development of distinct structures of production and forms of marketing. The present paper argues that it was in those places where marketing was in the hands of large-scale wine merchants and stockists that vineyards survived the changes introduced in the twentieth century. Also, the paper analyses the evolution of viticulture in the region up to the present day.
