A Stake in the Country is a history of the Corban family, of the wine industry, and of New Zealand society. It was first published in 1977 to mark the 75th anniversary of the establishment of Corban's Wines, and has since become sought after by collectors. This new and updated edition marks the 100th anniversary of one of the great families in New Zealand wine and business. Written by distinguished historian Dick Scott, with an epilogue on the past 25 years by Brian Corban, A Stake in the Country is a compelling record of the Corban family's journey from immigrant outsiders to a New Zealand household name. Richly illustrated with historical and contemporary photographs, it is a book to cherish.
