Reviews

'This text provides a comprehensive overview of the global wine industry. The book has two primary components. The first evaluates trends in global wine production, consumption, and trade. The second evaluates these trends for major wine-producing and wine-consuming countries. As a whole, the book is an invaluable resource for those seeking to understand today's wine industry and the factors influencing its future direction. . . . The World's Wine Markets provides an excellent overview of the worldwide wine industry that is enhanced by the detailed case studies of major wine producers and consumers.'
*Rachel E. Goodhue, Agribusiness*

'This book is a useful contribution to the literature on wine, in large part because it offers a global picture of recent vintage.'
*Brian Holly, Growth & Change*

'This is a useful work, which provides a comprehensive overview of the world's wine markets. Its particular strengths are its global coverage, its focus on both production and consumption, and the large number of charts and tables with which the volume is replete. With authors drawn from across the world, the book provides interesting national perspectives on the practice of globalization. It will be of undoubted use to students and those in the wine trade who need easily accessible information on this most fascinating of global markets.'

'World wine trade is undergoing the most radical transformation since the 1970s: New protagonists have helped to push markets' boundaries ever further afield in a world that has become a smaller place. This timely book offers a valuable collection of insights by academics into the gripping fight between seasoned performers from the Old World and their young pretenders from the New.'
