Tyler Colman systematically explains how politics affects what we can buy, how much it costs, how it tastes, what appears on labels, and more. He offers an insightful comparative view of wine-making in Napa and Bordeaux, tracing the different paths American and French wines take as they travel from vineyard to dining room table. Colman also explores globalization in the wine business and illuminates the role of behind-the-scenes players such as governments, distributors, and prominent critics who wield enormous clout. Throughout, Wine Politics reveals just how deeply politics matters- right down to the taste of the wine in your glass tonight.WinePolitical aspectsWine industryamerican wines.behind the scenes.big business.bordeaux.burgundy.business and industry.business politics.california.cost of wine.europe.food politics.france.french wines.globalization.government influence.history of wine.inside perspective.napa.nonfiction.oregon.vineyards.wine business.wine critics.wine culture.wine distributors.wine historians.wine industry.wine labels.wine laws.wine lovers.wine making.wine taste.wine tasting.wine.WinePolitical aspects.Wine industry.338.4/76632Colman Tyler1630325MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910821260803321Wine politics3968559UNINA
