Sažetak
In the communities from Istria to eastern Dalmatia wine trade represents one of the most important economic factors. At first, the production of wine in counties of Istra, Kvarner and Dalmatia is considered. Contracts and legislative regulations found in municipal statute laws give insight into cycles and obligations concerning the vineyard works. The second part gives an insight into local wine commerce, especially the one in the taverns. Existing sources and legislative articles on obligations of tavern-keepers provide a vivid picture on consumption of wine in the communities. In the end, the use of customs declarations provides an overview of export of wine from Croatian ports to European markets. It is possible to deduce relatively accurate figures both of exported and imported quantities of wine, especially to/from Italian cities. Inside each segment, a role of each individual shall be given: the one of a serf, owner of a vineyard, tavern-keeper and wine trader – all of this from the notary’ s books and privately kept financial records. An introduction to the topic of wine smuggling shall be given, as well as the map of the wine trade routes along the Adriatic Sea.
