Contemporary wine studies : dancing with Bacchus / Gareth Morgan, Richard Tresidder. - 254 pages : illustrations (black and white)
There are few, if any, books which embrace wine studies as a broader field. Yet the purchase and consumption of wine whether in trade or domestic settings has huge anthropological significance and can be seen as a multi-sensory and symbolically rich activity that is underpinned by historical, social, cultural and ethical discourses. This book fills this void by offering a through critical study of wine from social, cultural and anthropological perspectives, with a focus on the translation from theory to influencing industry practice.
