Mike is an acclaimed author with works like "Wine Wars" (and Volume 2) and "Around the World in Eighty Wines," offering insightful analyses that blend economic rigor with a deep appreciation for wine's cultural and historical significance. Through The Wine Economist, he educates industry professionals and enthusiasts, making complex economic concepts accessible and relevant to the wider wine community. This episode is a look inside the wine world through a macro (and micro) economics lens, exploring the factors that drive wine pricing, demand, and the business of selling wine around the world.
