Abstract: The article reviews the evolution of the vineyards in the Balearic Islands (with a special focus on the island of Menorca –the least studied of the archipelago) by means of fiscal and production registers unknown until now. Special emphasis is put on the development of the vine economy from the beginning of the 19th century and the different impacts of diseases on production, consumption and commercialization in Menorca and Mallorca. Two models are identified: one from Menorca focused on its own market, in which the commercial capital inflow is limited; and another from Mallorca, based on international demands, generating a potent mercantile network that takes advantage of the Phylloxera attacks to the French vineyards. There are remarks on the consequences of Powdery mildew and Downy mildew mainly, which contribute to explain the vine decline on the Balearic Islands since the end of the 19th century.
