The Oxford Companion to Wine

Published in 1994 to worldwide acclaim, the first edition of Jancis Robinson's seminal volume immediately attained legendary status, winning every major wine book award including the Glenfiddich and Julia Child/IACP awards, as well as writer and woman of the year accolades for its editor on both sides of the Atlantic. Combining meticulously-researched fact with refreshing opinion and wit, The Oxford Companion to Wine presents almost 4,000 entries on every wine-related topic imaginable, from regions and grape varieties to the owners, connoisseurs, growers, and tasters in wine through the ages; from viticulture and oenology to the history of wine, from its origins to the present day. More than 180 esteemed contributors (including 58 new to this edition) range from internationally renowned academics to some of the most famous wine writers and wine specialists in the world. Now exhaustively updated, this fourth edition incorporates the very latest international research to present 300 new entries on topics ranging from additives and wine apps to WSET and Zelen. Over 60 per cent of all entries have been revised; and useful lists and statistics are appended, including a unique list of the world's controlled appellations and their permitted grape varieties, as well as vineyard area, wine production and consumption by country. Illustrated with almost 30 updated maps of every important wine region in the world, many useful charts and diagrams, and 16 stunning colour photographs, this Companion is unlike any other wine book, offering an understanding of wine in all of its wider contexts—notably historical, cultural, and scientific—and serving as a truly companionable point of reference into which any wine-lover can dip and browse.

The Communal Consumption Experience

This book examines how shared consumption experiences shape consumer behavior, market strategies, and social connection. From wine tastings and direct selling events to hospitality and digital engagement, it explores the evolving ways people come together to consume, celebrate, and connect. Using communal wine consumption as a case study, this volume reveals how shared rituals — from intimate gatherings to large-scale events — drive economic and cultural trends. Topics include the role of social interaction in purchasing decisions, the balance of competition and collaboration in business, and the rise of digital platforms that reshape traditional consumption experiences. This book is essential for scholars, industry professionals, and anyone interested in marketing, consumer psychology, and experiential commerce as it offers a fresh perspective on the power of shared consumption in an evolving marketplace. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Journal of Wine Research.
