Abstract
Here, the book does well. It has a first-rate index, contains an entertaining 43-page personal history of the author’s involvement with wine, includes a first-course lesson/ chapter, which provides 28 well-done pages about grapes, weather, fermentation, wine chemistry, aging, bottles,1 glasses, and wine labels. Three of those pages show striking photographs. This recurring theme—pages devoted to photographs, not to teaching nor to reference material—contributes to coffee table status. In my opinion, the best teaching material in the book is the 19.5 pages devoted to the physiology and biology of taste and smell.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Wine Economics (JWE), launched in 2006, provides a focused outlet for high-quality, peer-reviewed research on economic topics related to wine. Although wine economics papers have been, and will continue to be, published in leading general and agricultural economics journals, the number of high-quality papers has grown to such an extent that a specialized journal can provide a useful platform for the exchange of ideas and results.
The JWE is open to any area related to the economic aspects of wine, viticulture, and oenology. It covers a wide array of topics, including, but not limited to: production, winery activities, marketing, consumption, as well as macroeconomic and legal topics. The JWE has been published twice a year and contains main papers, short papers, notes and comments, reviews of books, films and wine events, as well as conference announcements. From 2013 on, the JWE has been published three times per year.
The Journal of Wine Economics is fully owned by the American Association of Wine Economists (AAWE) and, since 2012, has been published by Cambridge University Press.
