Synopsis
There is a revolution currently underway in the world of wine. Established and new vintners are discovering the dual marketing advantage of coupling exquisite, name-brand designer architecture with the winery tour. Internationally renowned architects, such as Frank Gehry, Herzog & de Meuron, and Santiago Calatrava, have all designed wineries that focus on the experience of wine production for the visitor while providing brand recognition in the form of architecture. Celebrating the new alignment that the wine industry is making with design, "Wine by Design" highlights the most exciting new designs for wineries and spaces of wine from throughout the world including Australia, Chile, USA, Canada and the established vineyards of Europe. It also emphasises the way design is making headway into wine retail and wine bars, as well as the trend for conspicuously displayed spaces for the storage and consumption of wine.

Quatrième de couverture
Over the past decade a transformation has been underway in the world of wine, as wineries have become just as much places to visit as sites of wine production. In order to showcase their domains and attract and accommodate visitors on winery tours, wineries have engaged renowned architects to extend existing wineries as well as build new ones. This has led to arresting spaces being produced for wine in a whole plethora of styles. Wine by Design highlights some of the most exciting new wineries and spaces for wine, including those by such acclaimed architects as Frank Gehry, Herzog & de Meuron and Santiago Calatrava.
This new edition of Wine by Design adds a further nine wineries to those in the original book, so that it now features a total of almost 40 wineries from around the world. New projects are drawn from Austria, Canada, Italy, Portugal, Spain and the USA and are by such well–known architects as Alvaro Siza and Renzo Piano. The introduction has been revised to cover recent developments in wine tourism, such as winery spas and celebrity wineries, and the expanding market for wine in China. An accessible and engaging text is complemented by stunning photography plans and key information about the grapes, special vintages, winery design, location and opening hours. The book also emphasises how compelling design is making headway in the wine retail and wine bar sectors and in other leisure and hospitality spaces for the appreciation and consumption of wine.
