Auteur :
MORAN, W.

Description :
The A. argues that legislation that reflects the political power of the prestigious winemaking areas has had a major impact, especially in France. The appellation legislation of France, and the assumptions underlying it are established. It is conceptualized as a form of territorialization devised to regulate and capture advantages to some of the participants in the industry. The distribution of vine varieties in France and California illustrates the tight control in France.
