In the first section, contributors explore the history and regulation of wine production as well as its contemporary economic significance. The second section focuses on the entrepreneurship behind and the promotion and marketing of Niagara wines. The third introduces readers to the science of grape growing, wine tasting, and wine production, and the final section examines the social and cultural ramifications of Niagara's increasing reliance on grapes and wine as an economic motor for the region. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e The original research in this book celebrates and critiques the local wine industry and situates it in a complex web of Old World traditions and New World reliance on technology, science, and taste as well as global processes and local sociocultural reactions.

It is authored by a group of deeply curious academics who have an abiding passion for wine and for all that happens in the Niagara Peninsula. This book is the fruit, so to speak, of their labour of love.... Leafing once again through the manuscript to write these words, I feel as if I'm sitting in on a roundtable discussion with a group of like-minded folks, all talking about wines while sipping some. In fact, I recommend the same for you. Get yourself a glass of something local before curling up with this book to listen in on the conversation.\" -- Konrad Ejbich, from the preface\u003cbr\u003e``An academic paper on the Grande Parade? Hey, it's about time.... It's one article of many contained in a recently published book, The World of Niagara Wine .... Through 18 articles penned by 18 different writers, the book examines the history, business, science and culture of wine in Niagara. While some of the writings delve deeply into wine geekdom, most are accessible to the average slurper, and offer thought-provoking takes on the industry.'' -- Doug Herod -- The Standard (St. Catharines), November 13, 2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eThe World of Niagara Wine\u003c\/i\u003e, edited by Michael Ripmeester, Phillip Gordon Mackintosh\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMap of the Niagara Region and Its Wineries\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForeword  Konrad Ejbich (CBC Radio)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcknowledgements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction: The World of Niagara Wine  Michael Ripmeester, Phillip Gordon Mackintosh, and Christopher Fullerton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSection 1: Niagara Wines Decanted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 The Early History of Grapes and Wine in Niagara  Alun Hughes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 Niagara Wine and the Influence of the Government Regulation, 1850s to 1944  Dan Malleck\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 The Growing Place of Wine in the Economic Development of the Niagara Region  Christopher Fullerton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSection 2: Business and Bottles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 The History of the VQA  Linda Bramble\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5 Ontario Wines in the Marketplace  Astrid Brummer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6 The Ontario Wine Industry: Moving Forward  Maxim Voronov, Dirk De Clercq, and Narongsak Thongpapanl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7 The Hands behind the Harvest: Migrant Workers in Niagara's Wine Industry  Janet McLaughlin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSection 3: The Vineyard to the Bottle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8 The Use of Geospatial Technologies for Improved Vineyard Management Decisions in the Niagara Region  Marilyne Jollineau and Victoria Fast\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e9 The Niagara Peninsula Appellation: A Climatic Analysis of Canada's Largest Wine Region  Anthony B.
