A fascinating new journal devoted to the economics of wine.

There is great stuff here for any wine lover with pretensions of intellectualism: the journal will be published twice a year. Annual fees, including the journal and membership of the American Association of Wine Economists, are $39 a year, plus $6 for postage in countries other than the US. To contact the editorial office at the Economics Department, Whitman College, Walla Walla, WA 99362, email jwe@whitman.edu
The first issue contains a precise list of the original scores of the Judgment of Paris of 1976, a statistical analysis of the relationship of en primeur prices and wine quality, and a statistician's view of the movie "Sideways". Good stuff with lots of symbols no normal person can comprehend in a couple of places, but lots of interesting ideas any wine lover will enjoy thinking about and discussing.

Honestly, folks, I thought this was a great first effort, and hope future issues are just as interesting.
