How the vineyard came to matter: grape quality, the meaning of grapevines and technological change in mendoza's wine production

According to those involved, Argentine wine has changed radically over the past few decades. Limiting itself to the Mendoza region, this paper wants to analyze some of the changes observed in vineyards from a socio-technical perspective. Following the way that the definition of quality is (re)constr...
