Leading economists and economic historians examine the development of national wine industries before and during waves of globalization. This series of chapters on all key wine-producing and consuming countries or regions contains a common core that seeks to explain long-term trends and cycles in wine production, consumption, and trade.

This book uses empirically-based analytical narratives to shed light on the development of national wine markets throughout the world.

'A detailed overview of wine production, consumption and trade, based on a database of annual wine markets in 47 countries between 1835 and 2015. It is richly illustrated with charts and tables that trace the divergent fortunes of both traditional wine-pricing countries and newer producers alike. Including detailed national case studies written by an international team of economists and historians, this is the most comprehensive account yet written of the global wine trade over the last 200 years.'
