Preface

Germany is the eighth biggest exporter of wine, shipping 280 million litres in 2005; but it's also the world's largest importer of wine, buying 1.19 billion litres the same year. Like France, the country has struggled against New World vineyards. Now the Germans are fighting back with a winning marketing tool: novelty bottles.
