Wine Brands or Barging In Burgundy

Wine Brands: Success Strategies for New Markets, New Consumers and New Trends

Author: Evelyne Resnick

The subject of wine marketing is widely treated by practitioners and marketing experts in many countries. But we are now entering a new era for marketers: peers trust peers. Top-down messaging is losing ground, while bottom-up buzz is gaining power. How can marketers and academics respond to this challenge in the wine industry? Every few months new technologies, new devices, and new practices require analysis, creative processes, and adaptation. E-marketing is a global strategy allowing the industry to reach niche markets. For the first time in history we are able to measure the consumption patterns of an entire market and adjust quickly to their behaviours. We are now leaving the Information Age and entering the Recommendation Age through opinion leaders and various trenders. This practical new book is written by a leading wine industry expert, in an easy and accessible style. Illustrated with many case studies from around the word, this book is an invaluable guide to anyone working in, or interested in the wine industry.

Barging In Burgundy

Author: Erasmus Kloman

In the summer of 1999, Erasmus Kloman and his family chartered a barge and piloted it along the lovely Burgundy and Nivernais canals in France. In "Barging in Burgundy" Mr. Kloman combines a narrative travelogue with practical how-to-do-it instructions. He tells readers what they need to know about taking a barge trip — including how to determine which barge company to procure, what supplies to bring on board, and how to maneuver the locks encountered on the trip. At the same time, he lyrically describes the romance of travel in Burgundy, its remarkable history, breathtaking architecture, its wines and hearty cuisines. Also included are a list of sites worth a visit, restaurants, emergency numbers, and recipes from the region. This is a wonderful resource guide for adventurous travelers contemplating a barge trip or readers who just want to vicariously experience the beauty and tranquility of a barge trip through the French countryside.
