<p>'There is a periodic need for review and update of academic fields of study, a task performed admirably by this new <em>Routledge Handbook of Wine Tourism</em>. With seven sections and 57 chapters it is both comprehensive and timely, including a chapter on post-Covid implications. I am particularly pleased to see a wider coverage geographically, for example, India and Japan, and expansion of the field theoretically and methodologically. In addition to traditional themes of wine tourism such as marketing and regional development, readers will gain new insights on experiences - including virtual - sustainability, cultural constructs, social media and other technological developments. The editor summarizes progress and sets a new research agenda to move the field forward.'- Prof. Donald Getz, PhD, Emeritus Professor, The University of Calgary, Canada</p><p>'This handbook provides a wide-ranging, multidisciplinary examination of wine tourism. Chapters draw from both established and emerging scholars in the field and span traditional wine tourism destinations and relative newcomers around the world. Topics engage with diverse perspectives and exciting new directions in wine tourism research, from studies of underrepresented winery visitors to the wine tourism developments in the post-COVID-19 environment. This state-of-the-art volume provides essential reading for scholars and students interested in this dynamic area of tourism.' - Prof. Velvet Nelson, PhD, Department of Environmental and Geosciences, Sam Houston State University, Huntsville, Texas, USA </p><p>'This handbook is an extensive and multidisciplinary effort to frame the complexity of wine tourism, with an interesting focus on its role to boost regional development, local economy, and community empowerment. 57 up-to-date chapters covering theoretical and practical contents through the contribution of renowned scholars, emerging talented researchers and practitioners. Prof. Saurabh Kumar Dixit, in his 4th experience as editor of a Routledge Handbook, has been able to set up an outstanding review of the main challenges that wine tourism stakeholders have to face, as well as appropriate methods and tools to address them.' -Prof. Alessio Cavicchi, PhD, Department of Agriculture, Food and Environment, University of Pisa, Pisa, Italy</p>
