Features: There is probably no commodity in the world whose price is as varied as wine. Like wine, the wine market is also rich and diverse. In some regions, wine has become an indispensable daily necessity, like bread, while in others, it is a symbol of fashion. The attitudes of governments around the world toward wine also vary greatly. Some countries are hostile to wine, requiring mandatory health warnings, while others treat it as a source of tax revenue, and some may simply prohibit the disposal of empty wine bottles. This book will take you into this complex, contradictory, and fascinating world of wine.
