Two references that I have in my study about ancient wines include:

"DIONYSUS: A Social History of the Wine Vine", by Edward Hyams, The
Macmillan Company, New york (1965)  Library of Congress catalog card number
65-15581

"Viticulture and Brewing In The Ancient Orient", by H. F. Lutz (1922), G. E.
Stechert & Co., New York City.

Best wishes,

Thayne Andersen
