Abstract
Oenological tourism as we know it today is deeply related to the historical changes that took place in the first part of the 19th century, affecting the processes of cultivation, production and trade of wine in Spain. This work aims to provide a vision of wine and its sociocultural environments through the gaze of the 19th century traveller Cyrus Redding. Redding’s account is as documentary as it is literary, and his data provides an invaluable source of information about the vineyards, the varieties of grapes and wines, the processes of elaboration, production, packaging, transport, and so many more relevant socio-cultural, historical and economic issues related to wine. Of special interest to linguists and translators is the contribution of an invaluable terminology database.
