  The bottles that wind up on the shelves and on our tables are shaped by politics: "not only which grapes grow where, what can be written on the label, which wines are exported or imported, which wines are available in local stores, and how much a wine costs, but, perhaps most importantly... (politics) affects the quality of the wine in the bottle." To help understand this,Dr. Tyler Colman, author of Wine Politics: How Governments, Environmentalists, Mobsters, and Critics Influence the Wines We Drink (University of California Press, 2008), focuses on two of the biggest producer nations in the world, France and the United States. Moderated by Andrew F. Smith, professor, the New School Food Studies Program. Sponsored by the New School Food Studies Program.
