Abstract
The paper presents a critical survey for spurring research on the economics of fruit wines. The study performs a bibliometric and content analysis on around 6000 articles on fruit wines for a double purpose. First, the paper aims to describe the state of the art of research, including economic research, on fruit wines. Second, focusing on economic research, the paper wants to highlight and critically discuss the gaps that need to be addressed by research in the economics of fruit wines. The main results of the analysis suggest that economic research on fruit wines, different from economic research on grape wines, are very limited in the number of publications and fields/methods of application, except for the economics of apple cider wine. The main paper contributions are (1) informative about the current state of the arts of research on fruit wines and (2) propositional concerning developing economic research that analyzes key market aspects, like production and consumption patterns, price formation, market failures, and distortions, and possible corrections and remedies. The analysis of those aspects represents stimulating research and can provide important insights for strategies and policymaking.
