CALL FOR PAPERS

Special Issue: The Economics of Spirits Markets
The editors of Wine Economics and Policy invite submissions for a special issue dedicated to the economics of the spirits market. The spirits sector holds significant economic importance, with its products being both produced and consumed worldwide. This industry encompasses a diverse array of products, including Scotch whiskies, French cognacs, Mexican tequilas, Chinese baijiu, and local craft spirits. In recent years, the global spirits industry has experienced a remarkable transformation, spurred by shifting consumer preferences, technological advancements, and evolving regulatory landscapes. This transformation is occurring within a broader context marked by geopolitical tensions, rising production costs, challenges in accessing raw materials, inflation, protectionism, and climate change—all of which necessitate a reexamination of the sector's strategic fundamentals. This special issue seeks to capture the latest research on these dynamic markets and provide a comprehensive understanding of the economic forces shaping the spirits industry.
