Summary
A comparative analysis of vineyard terraces in Lavaux, Switzerland, and regions in New Zealand reveals that the success of wine appellations hinges on strategic local action, institutional creativity, and the interplay of economic, cultural, symbolic, and sensory values. The study highlights how actors in Féchy, Fully, Chamoson (Switzerland), Marlborough, and Central Otago leverage political choices and power dynamics to shape their appellation's identity and value. By integrating novel conceptual tools that balance taste, symbolism, and economics, the research identifies key elements fostering collective action, offering actionable insights for Swiss wine stakeholders.
