'This book takes a fresh look at the innovations that have changed the global wine sector, presenting established thinking in a new light. Building on the world's knowledge base in wine production, the book encourages novel thinking for both Old World and New World producers. The content is topical, current and well written. This is a must-read for anyone with an interest in wine innovation.--Sakkie Pretorius, The Australian Wine Research Institute'This excellent book emerges out of the project ''Innovation and Globalization in the Wine Sector: An International Comparison between Argentina, Chile, Italy and South Africa''. The authors provide a fresh perspective on innovation and technological capabilities in the wine industry, as well as an insightful account of the new growth trajectories of this industry in different contexts. . . this theoretically informed and empirically rich collection has clearly succeeded in highlighting some of the key features of innovation and technological catching-up in the wine industry in different countries. . . The book will be of considerable interest to practitioners, policymakers and scholars of innovation processes and to specialists of the wine industry more generally.'--David Doloreux, Regional Studies'[T]he editors have produced a book that contributes to our knowledge of the significance of innovation for the success of the New Wine World countries. It helps us to better understand the drivers of the most recent episode of wine grape area expansion and wine production growth. . . the book deserves a place on the shelves or data files of sociologists, geographers, economists, and policymakers concerned with the evolution of the global wine industry.'--Rolf A.E. Mueller, Journal of Wine Economics
