Book Reviews of Wine Politics: How Governments, Environmentalists, Mobsters, and Critics Influence the Wines We Drink

Book Review: "Wonderful and informative read!"
Summary: 5 Stars

I enjoyed this book immensely and learned a lot. The chapters about the shipping laws within the United States and how they came to be after the repeal of Prohibition were very interesting. It helped me to understand the current debates between the wholesalers, retailers,various states and their shipping laws. I thought the book would be very technical, but it was a very good read and any technical terms were explained very well. It also was illuminating on the aspect of how big business impacts the wine industry and how critics play a role. All in all a very good book. Would recommend this book highly.
