This book seeks to understand and display the complex relationships between wines and genders in a comprehensive manner. It explores the structural and systemic socio-cultural factors as well as lived experiences and activities of people involved with wine, be that professionally, enthusiastically, or casually. Drawing upon a wide body of scholarship as well as non-scholarly sources, the book takes the reader on a journey of interconnections that shape people’s wine engagement through a complex myriad of gendered expectations, assumptions, and practices. The book is the first to study wine and gender in a wide-ranging manner, both historically and today, and across different locations. It brings together a vast amount of wine knowledge never presented in one book, organised in a clear and accessible manner. This book provides in depth insights into the different elements that operate in the interconnections between wines and genders, including some of the intersectional elements that further complexify wine and gender social operations. Written in a lively and approachable manner, the book will appeal to scholars and students alike. It will be of particular interest to students of wine and other beverages, gender, and intersectionality. Within its subject matter, it is important reading to sociologists, anthropologists, and cultural geographers. It also offers interesting reading for cultural sociologists and gender scholars.
