[T]his book ... has a decidedly, and fittingly, scholarly tone... There are some fascinating historical facts, including the widespread nature of fraud in the wine business. -- Lettie Teague Wall Street Journal Anyone interested in the economic history of wine and drink should read this book. -- Tyler Cowen Marginal Revolution [T]here can be no doubt that wine buffs whose interest in what they drink stretches rather further than the supermarket price and the colour of the stuff in the bottle (why read the label?) will find this book fascinating.
