firms to the new boutique bodegas, along with thorough appendices
for those who wish to delve into the fine details. This classic

Wine has been considered a luxury product since the time of the
ancient Egyptians, and today is coveted by collectors and wine
enthusiasts from around the world. Yet little has been written
about the world of luxury wine marketing, explaining how a wine
brand can enter that special realm. This book helps to demystify
the process by describing how to craft, implement, and maintain a
luxury wine brand. Beginning with a definition and history of
luxury wine, the authors then explain the unique business model and
consumer segments for luxury wine, before outlining industry best
practice in the building of luxury wine brands. Each chapter is
supplemented with a vignette of a successful luxury brand producer,
and provides beneficial advice on the long-term vision and passion
that is necessary to create a successful luxury wine marketing
strategy. This book also contains original research conducted by
the authors on the size of the luxury wine market and analysis of
its segmentation by region, allowing for new and unique insight
into the world's top wine regions. Written as both a practitioner's
guide and as a wine business textbook, Luxury Wine Marketing is a
cornerstone reference resource for the business of wine.
Germany might be the most misunderstood wine country on the planet.
Hobbled by an idiotic wine law, labelling conventions that are
nothing but quixotic to non-German speakers and still settled with
a residual Liebfraumilch image, German wine is confusing, even for
experts. But despite this baggage Germany today is a vibrant,
creative and progressive wine country at the very heart of Europe.
Wine is made in thirteen regions across four degrees of latitude.
Anne Krebiehl MW, an acknowledged expert on German wine, showcases
the new Germany (with far more clean-cut labelling) and gets rid of
a few misconceptions and prejudices in the process.The wines of
Germany explains Germany's intrinsic regionality and puts the
country into context in terms of its climate and geography.
Krebiehl explains why rivers and slopes are so important to German
viticulture and puts it in an economic context. She analyses
Germany's unusually fragmented producer base and its challenging
climate and vintage variation before examining in detail the wines
of today's German regions.
