  abstract: Stefano Ponte offers a theoretically ambitious, empirically rich interrogation of the notions of value at play in global value chains, using the international wine industry as an exemplar, that ultimately amounts to a new and fundamental critique contemporary capitalism and the inequalities it engenders. Unlike existing work that takes the "value" in "global value chains" for granted, this study explicitly engages with processes of value creation, appropriation and redistribution and the different forms of power that underpin them. These dynamics take place through a variety of material, symbolic and experiential undertakings that combine tangible and intangible content. Value, Ponte shows, is not only embedded in the physical manifestations of convenience, taste, texture and intrinsic quality - but also through immaterial content, such as branding, singularity or geographic origin of products and the experiences they are connected to, such as gastronomic tourism. Drawing on extensive fieldwork and organized into a three-part structure--the first of which lays the theoretical groundwork, the second of which provides empirically rich analysis of winescapes in South Africa and Italy, and the third of which draws out conclusions for other food and agriculture industries--this book explains how power is exercised in contemporary capitalism, by whom, and with what consequences for producers, workers, and nature, both in the Global South and the Global North.
