Conclusion
Summary The chapters of this book provide a better understanding of wine economics, by addressing new issues such as sustainable development, food authenticity, financial expectations and consumption economics. Many of the discussed topics have been recently developed by economists (e.g. global warming and wine tourism) despite having been mostly covered by specialists in management, marketing and geography. Other fields correspond to new investigations of traditional topics, such as ranking wines or consumer behaviour, and new analyses in strategic choice (for example how to bottle wine or to sell bulk wine, to select grape varieties at replanting, to distinguish attitudes, intentions and behaviour in exporting). Wine Economics draws attention to the positioning of different market players and explores alternative regulations for public policy
