Abstract: Abstract While in the past wines from the Moselle were perceived as the cheapest sweet wine produced for mass consumption, in recent decades this perception has been reversed by a massive reduction in the area under cultivation and a simultaneous concentration on quality products. This chapter investigates the modernization through scientification and mechanization against the background of the emphasis placed on characteristics such as originality or naturality in advertising and public relations by wine merchants and winegrowing regions. The case study of these developments over a comparable long period of time, focused on the region of the Lower Moselle, with its specific historical, social and natural conditions enables a comparative approach to the questions examined here.
