The wine war | Aymeric Mantoux, Benoist Simmat

The world is thirsty for wine. Never in history has "red gold" been so sought after and contested across the planet. An instrument of unrecognized power, wine contributes to the prestige of nations that have mastered it for centuries. It even represents the last domain of French excellence. But the competition is fierce. After the Americans who currently dominate the market, new conquering powers - China, India, or Brazil - are emerging. They are buying and creating estates, seizing stocks, and seeking to take control of wine prices and trade. The two authors of this book have traveled the new wine routes. Between Napa Valley and Hong Kong, Spain, Japan, and China, an astonishing story of globalization is emerging. And in this true "liquid" economic war, France has not said its last word.
