Description
Summary:"This second edition strips the wine trade to its bare economic factors and subjects the countries' import and export flows to systematic analysis with a view to facilitating international comparisons; it also incorporates recent trends and, for the first time, examines trade between the world's main economic regions in order to gain a better perspective on the critical issue of trade liberalisation. The international wine trade aims to increase the understanding of the dynamics of the industry and offers wine professionals a unique insight into the patterns of the international wine trade since 1970." "The book provides coverage of technical factors in the production of wine; demand determinants and trends in the consumption of wine and other alcoholic drinks; factors promoting and inhibiting wine trade; the major importing and exporting countries; markets in transition; and the likely implications of trade negotiations for the wine trade worldwide." "This new edition of The international wine trade will be a guide for wine exporters large and small as well as a key reference for policy makers, financial analysts and economists alike."--BOOK JACKET
