We have the American Association of Wine Economists. Tell me, where is the American Association of Wine Sociologists?
Clearly economists, like blondes, have more fun. (Please keep other blonde analogies to yourself.)

Fair point, but methinks researching the sociology of leisure might still beat researching the economics of leisure . . .

I propose a generalization – For every weird economic association, you will find 10 weird sociological associations.

Incidentally, I just googled the phrase “sociology of wine” and found more than one institution of higher education has a course devoted at least in part to it. I did not find any association of wine sociologists. But I may consider rejoining ASA if anybody should start the appropriate section–even though, like Tom T. Hall, I rather like beer . . .

The number of studies on wineries (e.g., population ecology) by sociologists far outweighs the number of studies on wineries by economists. The same goes for breweries.

I was just in the Cock & Bottle pub in Bradford – dates back to the early 1600s i.e. before there were any economists and is complete with ancient escape tunnels and plentiful rats- and they have a microbrewery there. Their prize-winning beer is Old Jockstrap. How’s that for some real sociology!
