Economist, Editor & Author

Lettie Teague writes “Of all the wine blogs in the wide, wide blogosphere, one that I look forward to reading the most is Mike Veseth’s Wine Economist. There’s nothing else quite like it—a blend of economic insight… and often irreverent winespeak.”

Economist Mike Veseth (pronounced VEE-seth) is an authority on global wine markets who travels the world studying wine economics and speaking to wine industry groups. He reports his discoveries in The Wine Economist (WineEconomist.com), and in more than a dozen books including Wine Wars, Wine Wars II, and Around the World in Eighty Wines. He is a frequent speaker at wine industry events in the U.S. and around the world. Mike is a professor emeritus of International Political Economy at the University of Puget Sound.
