| Description | Although respondents and their memories are a significant source of information in ethnological research, it is crucial to use this information carefully. A collective memory can be useful in constructing our history, especially the history of certain groups or traditional phenomena. Winemaking has a long history and it is a part of traditional culture. Contemporary trends of winemaking quite often refer to the traditional ways of winemaking. Many changes were passed in the Czech society during the 20th century. These changes were of different origin and touched the agriculture as well as people's lives. From the ethnological point of view the most important changes were political and social. There still are contemporary witnesses of some of these changes. These people have been engaged in winemaking for the most parts of their lives (winemaking being either their hobby or job). Therefore, it is very important to detect such people and to record the authentic memories in order to preserve Moravian viniculture. |
