The Globalization of Wine cover

A comprehensive guide to understanding wine across the world today, explaining how recent changes in the global production and consumption of wine have transformed the industry.

The Globalization of Wine is a one-stop guide to understanding wine across the world today. Examining a broad range of developments in the wine world, it considers the social, cultural, economic, political and geographical dimensions of wine globalization. It investigates how large-scale changes in production, distribution and consumption are transforming the wine that we drink.

Comprehensive background discussion is complemented by vivid case study chapters from a variety of international contributors. Many different countries and regions are covered, including China, the USA and Hong Kong, as are key themes, debates and controversies in contemporary wine worlds.

Innovative, up-to-date and interdisciplinary, The Globalization of Wine illustrates the diversity and complexity of wine globalization processes across the planet, both in the past and at the present time. It is essential reading for academics and students in food and drink studies, sociology, anthropology, globalization studies, geography and cultural studies. It also provides a jargon-free resource for wine professionals and connoisseurs.

This book shows us that the art, science, and business of wine continues to grow
new branches of globalization - thus creating new histories to explore and new trends to
look forward to.

-- Bailey McAlister, Georgia State University, USA
While this edited volume is certainly not exhaustive on the topic of wine and globalization, it does cover a wide range of interesting and thought-provoking topics. I have some experience and knowledge of some classic topics when I was part of the wine field/world/culture ... such as Burgundy and Bordeaux wine ... But the chapters urged me to think differently about what I know of them. * FoodAnthropolo
